Wikipedia: Slavic (disambiguation)

Slavic and Slavonic are used interchangeably in English, with the former preferred in US English, and the latter in UK English. The OED gives citations of Slavonic back to the mid 17th Century, whereas it appears that Slavic only appeared in the 19th Century. Derivatives can be made from both forms, eg. Slavism v Slavonism and Slavicize v Slavonize; but note Slavification v. Slavonisation.
