Galicia Image 9

"Halychyna [in Ukrainian] Galicia [in English], Gaszorszag [in Hungarian], Galitsiya [in Russian], Galizia [in Italian] or Galizien [in German] is Ruthenian (=Ukrainian) historic land in West Ukraine (present day oblasts of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil). Name derives from the city of Halych (Latin name: Galic) which was the first capital of Galician principality. And name Galic itself derives from Ukrainian word "halka" meaning "crow" in English. That is why we have a crow on coat of arms of this land." https://www.torugg.org/History/history_of_galicia.html

"The Austrian arms for Galicia and Lodomeria were: Azure, a fillet in chief (or a bar enhanced) gules between a crow sable in chief and three ancient crowns in base, according to Woodward's Treatise. The name "crow" corresponds to the bird named "halka" in Ruthenian and "kawka" in Polish. The crow is Galicia and the three crowns are for Lodomeria. The Duchy of Galicia & Lodomeria (Rus Halicko-Wolynska or Rus Halicko-Wlodzimierska) came from the union of Duchy of Galicia and Duchy of Volynia (Lodomeria) - which was called Rus Halicko-Wolynska or Rus Halicko-Wlodzimierska . Lodomeria is a latin for of Wlodzimierz (Wlodzimieria) the capital of Rus Wolynska."
