The Narentines ((ギリシア語:(Ν)αρεντάνοι) - ''(N)arentanoi''; , Неретљани; (イタリア語:Narentani, Narentini)) was an ethnonym of a South Slavic tribe that occupied an area of southern Dalmatia west of the river Neretva or "ラテン語:Narenta". They were known for their piracy, so they are today known as the Neretva pirates. Some sources referred to their realm as Pagania () because they were pagan. The tribe ceased to be recognized after their Christianization in the 9th century, and particularly after the Venetian crackdown at the turn of the 10th century. ==Terminology== The word ''Narentine'' is a demonym derived from the local Neretva river (). Another name for the polity was the Latin Merania, meaning "coastland", and Marians to denote the inhabitants. Another term used was ''Krajinjane'', ''Craynenses'', ''Cherenania''. Venetian sources refer to the people as "Narentine Slavs" (Narrentanos Sclavos).〔Fine, 2006, (p. 39 ): "Venice continued having trouble with the Neretljani, sending ships against the Neretljani Slavs (Narrentanos Sclavos) in 887, as noted above, and also in 948. Having reached his own times, John the Deacon becomes aware of the term..."〕 The chronicle of John the Deacon distinguishes between the Narentines and Dalmatian Croatia.〔Fine, 2006, p. 37〕 ''De Administrando Imperio'' by Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (r. 913–959), says that "Pagani are descended from the unbaptized Serbs" and that "The Pagani are so called because they did not accept baptism at the time when all the Serbs were baptized."〔Moravcsik 1967, p. 165〕 It has been suggested that the label of "pirates" was applied by the victorious Venetians following the Battle at Cape Mika.〔〕 The region was also, considerably later, referred to as a part of Red Croatia,〔(When Ethnicity did not matter in the Balkans.
