Kato Ravenia (Greek: Κάτω Ραβένια) is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. Traditionally, the village was part of the Zagori region until the construction of the Ioannina–Konitsa road.[2]
In the late 19th century scholar Ioannis Lambridis described Ravenia as meaning 'flat place'.[3] Linguist Max Vasmer derives the toponym from the old Slavic ravъnъ meaning 'flat, flat place'.[3] Linguist Kostas Oikonomou derives the place name from adjectival possessive form ravъnja which stems from the Slavic noun ravъnъ and possessive suffix -ja (masculine -jъ) with the Slavic stressed sound ъ rendered in Greek as e.[3]
