→ Arabic: قُبْرُص (qubruṣ)

→ Latin: Cyprus

Originally a Northwest Semitic goddess name from the root כ־ב־ר / ك ب ر (k-b-r) which is attested as Arabic الْكُبْرَى (al-kubrā, literally “the great”) in a variant reading of Sura 62, Aya 9.
The island of Cyprus was a major source of copper during the Near East’s Bronze Age, so the Semitic name of this goddess’s local cult became associated with the copper metal and with the island of Cyprus itself. The Ancient Greek term is notably cognate with Sumerian 𒌓𒅗𒁇 (ud-ka-bar /zabar, kabar/, “bronze, copper”), Eblaite 𒂵𒁀𒈝 (ga-ba-lum /kabalum/, “copper”), Hurrian [script needed] (kabali, kābli, “copper”), and Latin aes Cyprium (“Cypriot copper”), later cuprum. Further compare Cypria, Cypris, alternative Latin names for the goddess Venus (Aphrodite).
Unrelated to the words for the Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) κυπάρισσος and the word for the plant henna (Lawsonia alba) κύπρος (kúpros), though the latter is also red in color.

Apparently from μέλι (méli, “honey”) + -η (-ē, “-a: forming feminine place names”), although its use for the island of Malta is considered uncertain. Some scholars consider it to represent the importance of the islands' indigenous bees and their output. Others consider it a transcription of Phoenician 𐤌𐤋𐤈 (mlṭ, “Grand Harbor, Cospicua”), from 𐤌𐤋𐤈 (mlṭ, “refuge, port”), reapplied first to the island and then, after its Roman conquest, to its capital via Latin Melita.
