Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Place Transfer	'from the Lampenus river' — the city is named from the river Lampe(n)us (i.e., the place-name derives from the river).
Morphological Composition	Hecataeus: 'there is the river Lápēs, and there the Lampe(n)ion.' — indicates the place-name Λαμπηνίον is formed from the river-name Λάμπης. (Morphological relation between river-name and place-name.)
Morphological Composition	'the citizen (is) Lampenites' — the demonym Λαμπηνίτης is formed from the place-name Λαμπηνίον by typical morphological derivation.
