Rasenna

"Rasenna" (or "rasna") is the word in the Etruscan language that is used to describe the Northern Italian people commonly known as the Etruscans. They were also called Etrusci or Tusci by the Romans and Tyrrhenoi by the Greeks.

Dionysius of Halicarnassus, who believed that the Etruscans were an autochthonous people native to Italy, referenced the meaning of this word in his writings.
