Etymology: Of uncertain origin. In Mycenaean Greek Linear B texts, the name 𐀀𐀑𐀩𐀄 (a-ki-re-u) (nominative) / 𐀀𐀑𐀩𐀸 (a-ki-re-we) (dative) is attested and generally taken to be the same name. Since ancient times and in the present day, some have speculated that the name is connected to ἄχος (ákhos, “distress; grief”) and λαός (laós, “people”), as the grief Achilles causes people is a central theme of the Iliad.
