IPA: /krěː.ɔːn/, /ˈkri.on/, /ˈkri.on/, /krěː.ɔːn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkri.on/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈkri.on/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈkri.on/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈkri.on/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *krāhōn, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱr̥h₂-s-n-, from the root *ḱerh₂- (“head”). Earlier comparisons with Sanskrit श्री (śrī, “beauty”) are semantically and phonologically problematic.
