词源

Etymology tree Old Swedish Karelender. Finnish Karjalader. Medieval Latin Carēliabor. English Karelia From Medieval Latin Carelia (akin to Russian Каре́лия (Karélija)), a Latinized form of Swedish Karelen. The Swedish word was probably mediated through Old Novgorodian Корѣла (Korěla), itself from the Finnic endonym (compare Finnish Karjala, which see for more).
