Kato Ravenia

Kato Ravenia () is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. Traditionally, the village was part of the Zagori region until the construction of the Ioannina–Konitsa road.

Name

In the late 19th century scholar Ioannis Lambridis described Ravenia as meaning 'flat place'. Linguist Max Vasmer derives the toponym from the old Slavic ravъnъ meaning 'flat, flat place'. Linguist Kostas Oikonomou derives the place name from adjectival possessive form ravъnja which stems from the Slavic noun ravъnъ and possessive suffix -ja (masculine -jъ) with the Slavic stressed sound ъ rendered in Greek as e.
