Zavitsa () is a mountain in the Peloponnese, known in antiquity as Timenion Oros, meaning Timenion mountain.
Its contemporary name comes from slavic language, either from the word "zaviča", which translates to "the village", or "zavičaj" which means "homeland". Russian-German linguist Max Vasmer writes that it comes from the word "Žabica", which means "a frog".
