Kreevins were Votes who lived in the Latvian town of Bauska and spoke the Votic dialect. In the middle of the 19th century they merged with the surrounding Latvians although many traditional aspects of Votic culture are still preserved. The name krieviņi means Russians (diminuitive form) in the Latvian language.
