The German Thaya and the Moravian Thaya unite to form the Thaya at Raabs. Raabs castle, built in the last half of the 11th century, has been exonymically called Rakous (formerly Rakús) by neighbouring Czechs, which is the origin of the Czech and Slovak name for Austria as a whole, Rakousko/Rakúsko.
