Etymology
From, from sclave:, from  sclavus: <  σκλάβος: <  словѣнинъ:, словѣне:. Slavs were often enslaved during the early Middle Ages, hence the semantic correspondence. In late 9th century Europe, the status of formerly free peasants was reduced to dependent servitude and the status of slaves was slowly elevated to the same dependency, thus creating a rural society of serfs. The old Latin word for slave, servus, now came to designate a category of rural workers who were not chattel property but who were firmly bound to their lord’s land. The new word for slave, sclavus, was derived from the source of many slaves, the Slavic lands of the east. A similar source-usage is found in Old English wealh:, originally meaning “Celt” (and origin of Welsh:), but likewise extended to mean “slave”.

Concerning toponyms of the type “slave”, they are very often ascribed to a presence of Slavs but sometimes this can be a para-etymology. Some linguists, for example italian Alberto Manco, connect them to a designation of the territory relevant to a linguistic systemic stage which is prior to both the result “slave”.
