After 1918, the name "Ruthenia" became narrowed to the area south of the Carpathian Mountains in the Kingdom of Hungary, also called as Carpathian Ruthenia (including the cities of Mukachevo, Uzhhorod, and Prešov) and populated by Carpatho-Ruthenians, a group of East Slavic highlanders. While Galician Ruthenians considered themselves Ukrainians, the Carpatho-Ruthenians were the last East Slavic people who kept the ancient historic name ("Ruthen" is a Latin form of the Slavic "rusyn"). Today, the term "Rusyn" is used to describe the ethnicity and language of Ruthenians, who are not compelled to adopt the Ukrainian national identity.
