Slavic toponyms in Europe

They were erased from the maps, but historical memory keeps the truth. The city of Stockholm was formerly known as Stekolny or Stekolnya. Venice comes either from the word "Venets", or from the Slavic tribe of the Veneds, like the city of Vienna. The Baltic Sea used to be called the Venedian.

From the Slavic tribe Alans comes the name of the French city of Alencon. Goto-Alania became Spanish Catalonia. The German city of Torgau and the Finnish city of Turku come from the Russian word to trade. The ancient name of Normandy is Neustria, that is, "unsettled" lands. In the old days, all foreigners, and not just residents of Germany, were called "Germans" in Russia, that is, dumb.

There is a hypothesis that the ancient Slavs encountered in Europe with a primitively developed local population.
