→ Arabic: قبرص (qubruṣ)

→ Latin: Cyprus

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, where جُمْعَة (jumʕa, “Friday”) has a more archaic version عَرُوبَة (ʕarūba, “Friday”), and الْعَرُوبَةِ الْكُبْرَى (al-ʕarūbati l-kubrā). beside the present male given name عَبْد اللّٰه (ʕabd allāh, literally “slave of god”) we also had عَبْد الْعزّى, عَبْد الشَّمْس (ʕabd aš-šams, “slave of the Sun”), عَبْد الْمَسِيح (ʕabd al-masīḥ, “slave of the Messiah”), عَبْد اللَّات (ʕabd al-lāt, “slave of Allat”), and just as one now says بِسْمِ ٱللّٰه (bismi llāh), there are variants of this invocation like بِسْمِكَ ٱللّٰهُمَّ (bismika llāhumma), and we should imagine that ancient Arabs shouted اللَّاتُ كُبْرَى (al-lātu kubrā) instead of اللّٰهُ أَكْبَر (allāhu ʔakbar) as a set phrase, functionally equivalent.
To return to the interpretation of Greek history and historiography, in the Greek pantheon any such Oriental female god equates to Aphrodite (interpretatio graeca).
The association of the island with the goddess resounds mythologically in king Cinyras being the founder of Paphos and its fane of Aphrodite. Her very first temple was according to Herodotus I, 105 erected in Asqalon by the Semitic Phoenicians. The very locality is known to be related to the goddess Δερκετώ (Derketṓ), identical to Ugaritic 𐎄𐎗𐎋𐎚 f (drkt, “rule, power”) – recalling the idea of greatness, Arabic الْكُبْرَى (al-kubrā).
The island taking its relevance from being the major source of copper during the Near East’s Bronze Age, the name of a local cult became associated—in no discernible order!—with the metal and with the island itself. It spread, notably to 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.
Hence copper is connected by alchemists and astrologers through one symbol ♀ to the planet Venus, the interpretatio romana of Aphrodite, of repute as a Cyprian goddess, Cypria, Cypris.
Before that, a time is known where ancient Cyprus did not have the present name, in view of its division into kingdoms which usually served for more specific names; the name for the whole island is just barely known in Phoenician as 𐤀𐤋𐤔𐤉 (ʾlšy /ʾalašiya/) and Ugaritic 𐎀𐎍𐎘𐎊 (ảlṯy /ʔalaṯiya/). Nonetheless Mycenaean Greek attests the adjective 𐀓𐀠𐀪𐀍 (ku-pi-ri-jo, “Cypriot”).
To be kept apart from the word for the Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) κυπάρισσος and the word for the plant henna (Lawsonia alba) κύπρος (kúpros) though it also colour in red (as copper does).

ref

The weekday names in Arab antiquity, like in European languages, come from theonyms, which were used in greater variety to express similar ideas and idioms of different tribes, before suffering unification by monotheism. In polytheist times there was a main or preferred female deity in each tribe. The same idea, with subtle distinction, could be termed Arabic الْكُبْرَى (al-kubrā, literally “the great”) as well as in Mecca الْعُزَّى (al-ʕuzzā, literally “the most powerful”), rendered Ancient Greek Ναζαία (Nazaía), عَرُوبَة (ʕarūba, literally “the one who enables love”), and اللَات (al-lāt), now provided but by اللّٰه (allāh). Either occurred in the takbir and basmala: beside the present male given name عَبْد اللّٰه (ʕabd allāh, literally “slave of god”) we also had عَبْد الْعزّى, عَبْد الشَّمْس (ʕabd aš-šams, “slave of the Sun”), عَبْد الْمَسِيح (ʕabd al-masīḥ, “slave of the Messiah”), عَبْد اللَّات (ʕabd al-lāt, “slave of Allat”), and just as one now says بِسْمِ ٱللّٰه (bismi llāh), there are variants of this invocation like بِسْمِكَ ٱللّٰهُمَّ (bismika llāhumma), and we should imagine that ancient Arabs shouted اللَّاتُ كُبْرَى (al-lātu kubrā) instead of اللّٰهُ أَكْبَر (allāhu ʔakbar) as a set phrase, functionally equivalent.

Compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀯𐀹𐀊 (a-si-wi-ja). There is no current consensus on the origin of the word. It originally applied only to Anatolia, and was later extended to its current definition. Likely an extension from or related to Hittite 𒀸𒋗𒉿 (aš-šu-wa /Aššuwa/, “northwest Anatolia”) of uncertain origin, but perhaps from:
*A proposed Aegean language family word asis, meaning “muddy” or “silty”, as reference to the silty eastern shores of the Aegean sea.
* Akkadian 𒀀𒍮 (a-ṣu, “to go out, to rise”), a reference to the rising sun, hence “land of the sunrise”; this is however potentially problematic as the Aššuwa league was west not east of the Hittite polity. Compare also Εὐρώπη (Eurṓpē).
* Alternatively from the same Akkadian, in the sense of “rising, rising up, to leave, to depart”. The Aššuwa league was formed after initial Hittite incursions into the western peninsula as a coalition to balk advancement; described as a rebellion, an uprising or a breaking away of lands on the fringe of Hittite control. A reconciliation between the two could be found as one sense providing the meaning for western Asia-minor in the Hittite view and the other for the sense of the direction in a general sense by the Akkadian terminology. For the early Greeks both the league and the sunrise coincided in the same direction.

From ἀλέξω (aléxō, “to repel”) + the stem ἀνδρ- (andr-) of ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man”) + -ος (-os), thus “the man who repels [enemies]”. The Hittite 𒀀𒆷𒀝𒊭𒀭𒁺𒍑 (/Alaksānduš/, “Alaksandu”) (attested in the 13th century BCE) seems to have been borrowed from an equivalent name in an ancestor language of Ancient Greek or some related dialect, perhaps Mycenaean Greek. A Linear B name, Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀩𐀏𐀭𐀅𐀨 (a-re-ka-sa-da-ra), seemingly corresponding to the feminine form Ancient Greek Ἀλεξάνδρα (Alexándra), is the earliest attested form of the name.

The ethnonym is homophonous with φοῖνιξ (phoînix), the Greek name of Tyrian purple. There has been some debate as to whether the ethnonym was derived from the name of the dye or vice versa. The ethnonym is found in use in ancient Mycenaean as 𐀡𐀛𐀑𐀍 (po-ni-ki-jo). One theory is that it is derived from the genuinely Greek adjective φοινός (phoinós, “blood-red”). Another theory is that is borrowed from Egyptian fnḫw (fenkhu), probably their plural term for "woodcutters" or "carpenters", which would refer to the peoples of the land of Canaan in the region of the Levant to the north, who supplied Egypt with the cedar wood cut from their forests, although there is no evidence that the Egyptians referred to the Phoenicians by this name.

Uncertain. Attested from an early date as Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀳𐀖𐀵 (a-te-mi-to) and Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀴𐀖𐀳 (a-ti-mi-te); this and its alternation of e and i led Beekes and Georgios Babiniotis to suggest the name is from a Pre-Greek substrate. A connection to Anatolian names has also been suggested; Artemis was venerated in Lydia as Artimus. Ancient Greek writers, by way of folk etymology, linked the name (found in Doric as Artamis) to ἄρταμος (ártamos, “butcher”) or ἀρτεμής (artemḗs, “safe, unharmed; pure; maiden”). Others compare Artemis to the Cretan Britomartis, with whom she was syncretized.
