Origin
Borrowed from Polish Ukraina or Russian Украи́на (Ukraína), from Old East Slavic оукраина (ukraina). This word is most commonly taken to have meant "borderland, marches," though for about a century Ukrainian scholars have argued it instead meant "region, country, the land around a given center."
