Livonia, historically referred to as Livland, is a historical region situated on the territory that currently comprises modern-day Latvia and Estonia. The name of the region is derived from the historical Livonians, an ethnic group that inhabited the shores of present-day Latvia.
While there is a city named Livonia in the United States, the primary historical designation refers to this geographic area in Northern Europe. The region's identity is rooted in its ancestral inhabitants and its geographical position spanning parts of two current Baltic nations.
