Name etymology
The origin of the name Raeti is uncertain. It has similarities to the endonym of the Etruscans: Rasenna, the root of which appears to be Etruscan rasna "the people". However, it is unclear whether the Rhaetians had a similar endonym or if Raeti is an exonym (a name used by outsiders to describe the Rhaetians).
