Etymology
The name Paseiwa comes from the Tanateoese word p'seiw' for the, a red three-leaved orchid native to the Pseiwan jungle. This plant is the national flower of the Pseiwan Kingdom and is featured on its flag. The name was given to the kingdom by the Zahavan colonizers after they were introduced to this plant that was exclusive to the region. The flower was very useful in the making of red fabric dye, but reamined mainly an ornamental flower. The settlers called their colony Pasaeva or land of the Pseiwan flower and this name stuck over the course of their history.

Paseiwa however is not the only name for this part of the world. Before the Zahavan colonization, the natives called their land Shei-òtànà, which roughly translates to cultured land or homeland. When the Tilennan settlers came in, they officially changed the name to Tilae Telonos, or land across the ocean. During this period the name Paseiwa remained in use to colloquially refer to the land.
