Carantania, also known as Carentania ((スロベニア語:Karantanija), (ドイツ語:Karantanien), in Old Slavic ') was a Slavic principality that emerged in the second half of the 7th century, in the territory of present-day southern Austria and north-eastern Slovenia. It was the predecessor of the March of Carinthia, created within the Carolingian Empire in 889. ==Origin of the name== The name ''Carantania'' is of pre-Slavic origin. Paul the Deacon mentions ''Slavs in Carnuntum, which is erroneously called Carantanum'' (''Carnuntum, quod corrupte vocitant Carantanum'').〔Simoniti Vasko, Štih Peter (1996): ''Slovenska zgodovina do razsvetljenstva''. Celovec, Mohorjeva družba in Korotan.〕 Another possible etymology is that it may have been formed from a toponymic base ''carant-'' which ultimately derives from pre-Indo-European root *''karra'' meaning 'rock', or that it is of Celtic origin and derived from *''karantos'' meaning 'friend, ally'. Its Slovene name ' was adopted from the Latin *''carantanum''. The toponym ''Carinthia'' (Slovene: < Proto-Slavic ''(unicode: *korǫt’ьsko)'') is also claimed to be etymologically related, deriving from pre-Slavic *''carantia''.〔France Bezlaj, ''Etimološki slovar slovenskega jezika'' (Slovenian Etymological Dictionary).
