Etymologies

CategoryExplanation
Eponym PersonFrom Daskylos, the son of Periados (i.e. the city is named after the man Daskylos, son of Periados).
Morphological CompositionThe ethnic/demonym 'Δασκυλίτης', formed analogously to Κύπρος → Κυπρίτης (showing the morphological formation of the demonym).
Morphological CompositionThere is also a lake called Δασκυλίτις or Δασκυλία, hence the citizen is called Δασκύλιος (shows variant place-names and derived demonym).
Unclear MetalinguisticEudaimon and Arkadios write the 'λι' syllable with the diphthong ει (an orthographic/phonological note about the name's spelling).
Morphological CompositionIt is also said Δασκυλίς (feminine) — the place-name attested in a feminine form.
