"Ἴων" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Ἴων in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /í.ɔːn/, /ˈi.on/, /ˈi.on/, /í.ɔːn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈi.on/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈi.on/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈi.on/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈi.on/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: Íōn [romanization], Ἴωνος [genitive]
Etymology: From earlier Ἰᾱ́ϝων (Iā́wōn) according to Beekes. Pokorny has speculated about a connection to a Proto-Indo-European root *wey-, expressing a shout of joy or distress, as in Ancient Greek ἰά (iá, “clamour, shout; sound, roar”). Ἰᾱ́ϝων (Iā́wōn) could mean “devotee of Apollo”, based on the cry ἰή παιών (iḗ paiṓn) uttered in his worship; the god was also called ἰήϊος (iḗïos) himself. Douglas Harper speculates that it may share a Proto-Indo-European origin with Sanskrit योनी (yonī, “womb, vagina”), a supposed reference to goddess-worshipping. Compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀂𐀊𐀺𐀚 (i-ja-wo-ne, “Ionians”), Egyptian ywnj-ꜥꜣ (“Great Ionia”), both attested in the first half of 14th century BC.
