The name Ydania has its roots in ancient Sanskrit, one of the oldest languages in the world. Originating around the 2nd century BCE, it is believed to be derived from the Sanskrit word "Yadan," which means "to go" or "to move." This suggests that the name may have been associated with travelers or nomadic tribes in the region.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ydania can be found in the ancient Hindu scriptures known as the Vedas. It is mentioned in the Rig Veda, one of the four canonical sacred texts of Hinduism, dating back to around 1500 BCE.
