WHAT DOES ETRURIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Etrurian

Etruscan civilization

Etruscan civilization is the modern name given to a civilization of ancient Italy in the area corresponding roughly to Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Latium. The ancient Romans called its creators the Tusci or Etrusci. Their Roman name is the origin of the terms Tuscany, which refers to their heartland, and Etruria, which can refer to their wider region. In Attic Greek, the Etruscans were known as Τυρρηνοὶ , earlier Tyrsenoi, from which the Romans derived the names Tyrrhēni, Tyrrhēnia, and Mare Tyrrhēnum. The Etruscans called themselves Rasenna, which was syncopated to Rasna or Raśna, earlier T'rasena from whence comes the Roman and Greek names, prompting some to associate them with the Egyptian Teresh. It is cognate with the Attic T'latta, Doric and Koine Thalassa the word for the sea. The word may also be related to the Hittite Taruisa. As distinguished by its unique language, this civilization endured from the time of the earliest Etruscan inscriptions until its assimilation into the Roman Republic in the late 4th century BC.
