Where this word comes from
Ultimately from Ancient Greek Κύπρος (Kúpros). The precise route into Norwegian is uncertain. The deeper origin of the Greek name is likewise uncertain; it has traditionally been associated with the island's ancient copper production, while another interpretation connects it with the cypress tree. The island name appears in Latin aes Cyprium (“Cypriot copper”), later cuprum (“copper”), ultimately the source of Norwegian Bokmål kobber (“copper”). Compare Greek Κύπρος (Kýpros), Finnish Kypros, Danish Cypern, English Cyprus and Turkish Kıbrıs (“Cyprus”).
