Croat ethnogenesis [ ] The ethnonym 'Croat' is first attested during the 9th century CE, in the charter of Duke; and indeed begins to be widely attested throughout central and eastern Europe during the 9th and 10th centuries. Much uncertainty revolves around the exact circumstances of their appearance given the scarcity of literary sources during the 7th and 8th century '. Traditionally, scholarship has placed the arrival of the Croats in the 7th century, primarily on the basis of the later Byzantine document De Administrando Imperio. As such, the arrival of the Croats was seen as a second wave of Slavic migrations, which liberated Dalmatia from.

Contemporary scholarship views the rise of 'Croats' as an autochthonous, Dalmatian response to the demise of the Avar khanate and the encroachment of and into northern Dalmatia.

Also prominent in the territory of future Croatia was the polity of Prince Liutevid, who ruled the territories between the and rivers ('), centred from his fort. Although Duke Liutevid and his people are commonly seen as a 'Pannonian Croats', he is, due to the lack of 'evidence that they had a sense of Croat identity' referred to as dux Pannoniae Inferioris, or simply a Slav, by contemporary sources.
