The name, "Sainterre", comes from the French words, for "holy" and "land", "saint" and "terre", respectively. Before the adoption of the Royal Charter on the Lands of Nation in 1757, Sainterre had many differing names due to the isolated nature of the indigenous people. Such names included Kolobia and Borderia. However, after the Wars of Independence, the name "Sainterre" was included in the Royal Charter and adopted by the National Assembly.
