The name '''Viunze''' comes from the Ancient Methinat spoken by the Mettat Empire in ancient times. The Ancient Methinat name was "wêtis-udənstám", meaning "Willow Island", named for either the island's widespread ''Salix atrocinerea'' plants or the alpine ''Salix lanata''. This later became simplified to "wétunstam", then "wéuntsa", then "wiunza". This, in turn, was later adapted into Illaine as "Viunze". | |||
