desc

→ Old Armenian: Եւրոպա (Ewropa), Եւրոպիա (Ewropia)

Uncertain, but either from:
* εὐρύς (eurús) + ὤψ (ṓps), literally meaning "wide face" (as a description of the beauty of the mythical Europa) or "broad eye" (metaphorically meaning something like "as far as the eye can see")
* Semitic origin; compare also Ἀσία (Asía), related to
** Akkadian 𒀭𒌓𒋙𒀀 (ᵈUD.ŠU₂.A /erebu, erbu/, “direction of the setting sun, occident, west”)
** Phoenician 𐤏𐤓𐤁 (ʿrb /ʿereb/, “evening”)

** Classical Syriac ܡܥܪܒܐ (maʿrəḇā, “occident, west”)
** Arabic غَرْب (ḡarb, “occident, west”) and غُرُوب (ḡurūb, “setting of the sun”)
** and specifically Aramaic עֲרוּבְתָּא f (ʿărūḇtā, “sunset; eve; Sabbath eve; Friday; Venus, Aphrodite”) of which the absolute state עֲרוּבָא f (ʿărūḇā) in the relevant Northwest Semitic chronolect and isolect would have lacked begedkefet and the second vowel /ɔː/
* From a separate Semitic root related to guarantees and exchanges, found in Arabic عَرَبُون (ʕarabūn, “down payment”), Hebrew בֶּן‑עֲרֻבָּה (ben‑ʿărubbāh, “hostages”), Classical Syriac ܥܪܘܒܐ (ˁārōḇā, “hostages”), stemming from mythology in which Europa is famously abducted; see the story of Cadmus, a figure also with Semitic associations, who seeks after his kidnapped sister.

οὔτ’ ἀνελεύθερον οἶμαι θάνατον // τῷδε γενέσθαι. // οὐδὲ γὰρ οὗτος δολίαν ἄτην // οἴκοισιν ἔθηκ’; // ἀλλ’ ἐμὸν ἐκ τοῦδ’ ἔρνος ἀερθέν. // τὴν πολυκλαύτην Ἰφιγενείαν, // ἄξια δράσας ἄξια πάσχων // μηδὲν ἐν Ἅιδου μεγαλαυχείτω, // ξιφοδηλήτῳ, // θανάτῳ τείσας ἅπερ ἦρξεν.

458 BC, Aeschylus (aut.), H.W. Smyth (ed., tr.), Ἀγαμέμνων in Aeschylus…in two volumes II: Agamemnon (1926), ll. 1,521–1,530

[Neither do I think he met an ignoble death.] And did he not himself by treachery bring ruin on his house? Yet, as he has suffered — worthy prize of worthy deed — for what he did to my sweet flower, shoot sprung from him, the sore-wept Iphigenia, let him make no great boasts in the halls of Hades, since with death dealt him by the sword he has paid for what he first began. ― tr. ibidem

Greek: Παρθενοπαίος (Parthenopaíos)

Latin: Parthenopaeus

βλάστημα καλλίπρῳρον, ἀνδρόπαις ἀνήρ:
στείχει δ’ ἴουλος ἄρτι διὰ παρηίδων,
ὥρας φυούσης, ταρφὺς ἀντέλλουσα θρίξ.
ὁ δ’ ὠμόν, οὔτι παρθένων ἐπώνυμον,

[…]Parthenopaîos Arkás: ho dè toiósd’ anḕr
beautiful child, […] half man, half boy,
and his beard's first growth is just now advancing on his cheeks, his youth in first bloom, thick, upspringing hair.
But now he makes his advance with a savage heart and a terrifying look, not at all like the maidens he's named for.
[…] he is Parthenopaeus of Arcadia. Such is the man,

Compare Rigvedic पर्षान् हन्ति (parṣā́n hanti, “to thresh ears of corn”). Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *pers-é-bʰ(h₂)n̥t-ih₂ (“she who brings the light through”), akin to Albanian Prenda.

Aristotle was one of the first to use the name Γραικοί (Graikoí), saying that the area about Dodona and Achelous was inhabited by the Σελλοί (“Selloi”) and a people formerly called Graeci and now Ἕλληνες (“Hellenes”).
According to one hypothesis, the name means “from Γραῖα (Graîa, “Graea”)”, a city on the coast of Βοιωτῐ́ᾱ (Boiōtĭ́ā, “Boeotia”), and it was given to the Greeks of southern Italy by the Romans. The city’s name itself means “grey, venerable” from Proto-Indo-European *ǵerh₂- (“to grow old”). This is in stark contrast to eastern names for the Greeks based on Ἰωνία (Iōnía).
