Athienou
Athienou ((ギリシア語:Αθηένου) or []; (トルコ語:Kiracıköy)) is a village in Larnaca District, Cyprus. It is one of only four villages located within the United Nations Buffer Zone, the other three being Pyla, Troulloi and Deneia. Today, Athienou has a population of around 5,000 people and since 1990 has been home to Davidson College's Athienou Archaeological Project. The town's city hall includes a museum of local history and culture that was established in 2008.
==Origin of the name==
It is supported by many, that the name of the village Athienou, derived from the ancient Greek word, "Atta" (Greek: Αττα) or "Atha" (Greek: Αθθα), meaning ''large rock'', which characterized the rocky land of the village.
Others support that the name was given by a group of Athenians (travellers from Athens), who came and settled in the village, to remember their home town.
Others resolve the name to a Lusignan called ''Etienne'', who lived in the area, and the people who lived in the village were mentioning his house as "Etienne's Place" (Greek: "Στου Ετιένου", ''stou etiennou''), and in later years that changed into Athienou.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Municipality of Athienou - One of the most ancient municipalities )〕〔Agelarakis A., “Paleopathology and its Contributions to the Decipherment of the Human Condition in Antiquity: A Preliminary Report for the Case of two Skeletal Populations from Malloura in Cyprus”, Report of the Department of Antiquities, Cyprus, 1997: 239-250〕
