Kuhusu uhusiano wa jina la kundi la mataifa ya Ulaya Mashariki na "slave = mtumwa" angalia hapa:Umesema:
"Ulaya kuna kundi kubwa la mataifa ambayo huitwa "Slavonic", maana yake kiasili "slaves" = watumwa."

Slavs - Wikipedia

"The English term slave derives from the ethnonym Slav. In medieval wars many Slavs were captured and enslaved, which led to the word slav becoming synonym to "enslaved person".[21][22][23] In addition, the English word Slav derives from the Middle English word sclave, which was borrowed from Medieval Latin sclavus or slavus,[22][24][25] itself a borrowing and Byzantine Greek σκλάβος sklábos "slave," which was in turn apparently derived from a misunderstanding of the Slavic autonym (denoting a speaker of their own languages)."
