Delikipos
Delikipos ( gr, Δελίκηπος) is a village in the Larnaca District of Cyprus, located 4 km west of Kornos. Etymology There are two versions are available with regards to the naming of the village. The first version, as the Great Cyprus Encyclopaedia preserves, links the naming of the village with the name of the first owner of the area who was named Delis. More specifically, the name of the village derives from the phrase “the garden (kipos) of Delis”. Another version supports that the village’s name is a compound word formed by the Italian word “bella” which means beautiful and the Greek word “kipos” which means garden, concluding that the meaning of the compound name is “beautiful garden”. According to the Great Cyprus Encyclopaedia, this version is the most correct one because the village existed prior to the Ottoman occupation (1570–71). History The village has a church dedicated to the Transfiguration. According to an inscription in the interi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
