Omorfita
Omorfita or Kuchuk Kaimakli〔Spelling on Cyprus map according to British survey of 1885 and other publications〕 ((ギリシア語:Ομορφίτα) []; (トルコ語:Küçük Kaymaklı) (:cyˈt͡ʃyc kajmakˈɫɯ)) is a northeastern quarter of Nicosia, Cyprus.〔〔6th edition of the publication “Statistical Codes of Municipalities, Communities and Quarters of Cyprus” (publ. Statistical Service of Republic of Cyprus)〕 Omorfita has been divided since 1974, its biggest chunk being under the ''de facto'' control of Northern Cyprus.
==Name==
It is Ομορφίτα in Greek, possibly derived from Morphou〔"An historical toponymy of Cyprus" by J.C. Goodwin, 5th ed., Nicosia, 1985〕 or from the Greek word for 'beautiful'. It is ''Küçük Kaymaklı'' in Turkish, which means 'small Kaimakli', the neighbouring suburb of Kaimakli being referred to as 'big Kaimakli' in Turkish. It seems that Kaimakli derives from ''kaymak'' meaning () froth (a cup of local coffee ). However, Rupert Gunnis states that the suburb took its name from a farm which produced clotted cream which in Turkish is known as ''Kaymak''.〔Gunnis, R. (1936) 'Historic Cyprus: A Guide to its Towns & Villages Monasteries & Castles' (by R. Gunnis, pub. K Rustem & Bro, Nicosia), p.241〕
