Etymology
Similarly to the majority of ethnic religions of the s in Zemlya, Lipnitian Native Faith bears the name "Rodnovery" (родноверство, rodnoviestvo), which has origins in the contraction of the name rodna viera meaning "native faith" or "ancestral faith", with the suffix *-ьstvo. The "Lipnitian Native Faith" is also used for this reason. Rather than being a name specifically taken upon by the faith, it was simply assigned to it by its believers, who knew it as their native faith.

An alternative term for the faith, "Pamiatism", is derived from the Lipnitian "памятность" (pamiatnostj), literally meaning "rememberance" and originating from the Proto-Slavic root *pamętь, in like manner derived from the roots *pa- and *mętь, meaning "after" and "mind". The term "Pamiatism" is largely antiquated when it comes to encompassing the Lipnitian Rodnover faith as a whole, but is still used in some Zemlyan countries to refer to Lipnitian Rodnover religious minorities.
