The Anglicised term "Rodnovery", and its adjective "Rodnover(s)", have gained widespread usage in English and have been given an entry in the second edition (2019) of the academic "Historical Dictionary of the Russian Federation". It means "Native Faith" and it is the name used by the majority of the movement's adherents. The term is adapted from Slavic forms, and variations of it are used in different Slavic languages: for instance, in Ukrainian it is "Ridnovirstvo" or "Ridnovirya", in Russian "Rodnoverie", in Polish "Rodzimowierstwo", and in Czech "Rodnovĕří". The term derives from the Proto-Slavic roots *"rod", which means anything "indigenous", "ancestral" and "native", also "genus", "generation", "kin", "race" (e.g. Russian "rodnaya" or "rodnoy"); and *"vera", which means "faith", "religion". Within the movement, it has also been used to define the community of Native Faith practitioners themselves as an elective group. The term has different histories and associations in each of the Slavic languages in which it appears. The suffix "-ism" is usually avoided in favour of others that describe the religion as if it were a practice or craft (which is the meaning of the Ukrainian and Russian suffix "-stvo", thus translatable with the English suffix "-ery, -ry").
