[Facts] Kyparisia
Saw the name Kyparisia on TV, it was the name of a woman in Greece. Anyone who knows where it comes from? Has it got anything to do with Cyprus?

It comes from the word kyparissi witch means cypress. It's also the name of a city in southern Greece and it's used very rarely as a given name. The etymology of the word Cyprus is not known but it's is suggested that it also comes from kyparissi/cypress.
