Proper name [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /a.pʰro.dǐː.tɛː/, /a.ɸroˈði.ti/, /a.froˈði.ti/, /a.pʰro.dǐː.tɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /a.pʰroˈdi.te̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /a.ɸroˈði.ti/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /a.froˈði.ti/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /a.froˈði.ti/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The theonym is found in Homer and Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.). Traditionally it has been viewed as a compound, ἀφρο (aphro) + δίτη (dítē), connecting the first part with ἀφρός (aphrós, “sea foam, froth”), according to the legend of the goddess' birth. This has not been accepted by modern scholars. There is no etymology generally accepted in scholarship. Some such as Beekes propose that the name in its entirety is a loan from a non-Greek language, of probable "oriental origin", possibly Cypriot Phoenician (such as in the Idalion bilingual). A connection to Akkadian 𒀭𒈹 (ᵈIštar) has been further proposed. An older, now rejected proposal of a Greek etymology connects -δίτη (-dítē) with the verb δέατο (déato, “to shine, to appear, seem”) (Homeric δῆλος (dêlos, “visible, conspicuous, clear”)) and interprets the name as originating from an epithet of the dawn goddess Ἠώς (Ēṓs). Associated by the Romans with Venus, originally a goddess of less meaning and prominence. More on Wikipedia.

  "etymology_text": "The theonym is found in Homer and Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.).\nTraditionally it has been viewed as a compound, ἀφρο (aphro) + δίτη (dítē), connecting the first part with ἀφρός (aphrós, “sea foam, froth”), according to the legend of the goddess' birth. This has not been accepted by modern scholars.\nThere is no etymology generally accepted in scholarship. Some such as Beekes propose that the name in its entirety is a loan from a non-Greek language, of probable \"oriental origin\", possibly Cypriot Phoenician (such as in the Idalion bilingual). A connection to Akkadian 𒀭𒈹 (ᵈIštar) has been further proposed.\nAn older, now rejected proposal of a Greek etymology connects -δίτη (-dítē) with the verb δέατο (déato, “to shine, to appear, seem”) (Homeric δῆλος (dêlos, “visible, conspicuous, clear”)) and interprets the name as originating from an epithet of the dawn goddess Ἠώς (Ēṓs).\nAssociated by the Romans with Venus, originally a goddess of less meaning and prominence.\nMore on Wikipedia.",
