The http://www.answers.com/topic/ukrainian-language word Ukrayina stems from the http://www.answers.com/topic/proto-slavic-language root kraj-, a homonym meaning "edge" or "borderland" as well as "land", "region", "country" (see main article). In particular, in Ukrainian krayina means simply "country".
