The name Avrid as mentioned above derived from the Tevrés word ''Avríd''. This in turn comes from the Medieval Talothic ''Aplidhýn'' ({{IPA-all|apliˈðy(n)|}}), via Ilessu ''Abride'' ({{IPA-all|ɐˈbɾidɨ|}}).

''Aplidýn'' derives from Classical Talothic ''Apleidoión'' ({{IPA-all|apleːdoi̯ón|}}), meaning 'that which is upon Pleidos.' Pleidos was an ancient Talothic mythical figure; a titan upon whose corpse it was believed the world lay.
