Galatsi
Galatsi ((ギリシア語:Γαλάτσι), (:ɣaˈlatsi)), called in Katharevousa Galatsion ((ギリシア語:Γαλάτσιον)), is a northern suburb of Athens, Greece, and a municipality of the Attica region. Until the mid-20th century, the area was mainly made up of farmlands but due to the continuous expansion of the Greek capital, Galatsi was rapidly urbanised and has come to lie in the center of the Athens agglomeration. ==Etymology== Although several etymologies have been proposed about the origin of the name ''Galatsi'', which already appears in the book of 1870, ''History of Athens'', it originates from the surname of Symeon Galakis, a squire who purchased lands around the church of Agia Glykeria in 1851. Consequently the whole area was given his name, which, according to the phenomenon featuring the old Athenian phonology and known as tsitakism, was pronounced 'Galatsis', thus the name of the area was finally ''Galatsi''. An alternative theory suggests that it derived from ''gala'', the Greek word for the ''milk'' that the shepherds of the area's rangelands yelled hovering around in order to sell their products.
