Of, relating to, or inhabiting the forest; pleasantly wooded; idyllically rural.
From Latin 'silvanus' (of the forest), from 'silva' (forest). Silvanus was the Roman god of the forest. Pennsylvania means 'Penn's sylvan lands' — Penn's forests.
Pennsylvania literally means 'Penn's FORESTS' — because 'sylvan' means woodland! The Roman forest god was Silvanus, and his legacy is in every wooded path you walk. Trees have their own divine adjective! 🌲ðŸ›ï¸
