Slavic toponym meaning frontier or march
Krajina is a Slavic toponym, meaning 'country' or 'march'. The term is related to kraj or krai, originally meanings land, country or edge and today denoting a region or province, usually remote from urban centers.

The Serbo Croatian word krajina derives from Proto Slavic *krajina, derived from *krajь, related to *krojiti 'to cut'; the original meaning of krajina thus seems to have been 'place at an edge, fringe, borderland', as reflected in the meanings of Church Slavonic краина, kraina. meaning specifically region or land itself rather than borderland. In most Slavic languages (including the Chakavian and Kajkavian dialects of Serbo Croatian), the root krajina is found and means country: Krajina is also a surname, mostly among South Slavic language speakers. The word kraj can today mean an end, extremity, region, land or area.
