"Khersonsia" simply means "peninsula" in the classical Hylotic language. The name likely originated as a result of phrase intention being lost in translation during early interactions between [[Valahandian]] explorers and the native peoples of the peninsula. An alternative, much more self-indulgent name, "Lygisepolis" was introduced in the years leading up to the [[Iustitian War for Independence]] by those in opposition to Valahandian colonial rule.
