Slavonija

Name Slavonija potječe od srednjovjekovnog latinskog imena S(c)lavonia koje, jednako kao i oblici S(c)lavia i S(c)lavinia, označava "zemlju nastanjenu Slavenima (Sclavi, Sclavini, Sclavones)".

Ime pokrajine Srijem poteklo je od imena antičkoga središnjeg grada, Sirmija (lat. Sirmium / grč. Sírmion), na mjestu današnje Srijemske Mitrovice. Od pučkog latinskog oblika Sermi- postalo je staroslavensko Srěmъ, s potonjim odvjetcima Srijem i Srem, odnosno mađ. Szerém i tur. Sirem.

Materijalni tragovi svjedoče o naseljenosti Baranje još u prapovijesnoj davnini, ali pisana povijest na tom je prostoru, kao i drugdje u srednjoj i zapadnoj Europi, osvanula tek s uspostavom rimske vlasti.
