The name Kiev is said to derive from the name of Kyi, one of four legendary founders of the city . During its history, Kiev, one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, passed through several stages of great prominence and relative obscurity. The city probably existed as a commercial centre as early as the 5th century.
