Genoa

See also: genoa

Etymology

From Latin Genua, as the city was known by the ancient Ligurians; probably from the Ancient Ligurian word for “knee”, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵnéwo- (“knee”), a thematic derivative of Proto-Indo-European *ǵónu, in this sense “angle”, from its geographical position, thus akin to Geneva.
