Lisbon
English
Etymology
From Latin Olisīpō, the origin of which is uncertain.[1] Older spellings include Ulixbona and Ulixbuna (in the Visigothic era); Ὀλισσιπών (Olissipṓn) or Ὀλισσιπόνα (Olissipóna) (by Greek writers), Olisippo (by Pliny the Elder), and Ulyssippo (by Pomponius Mela of Hispania), the last of which relates to the first-century Roman folk etymology that it was founded by and named after Ulysses; another common folk etymology is the Phoenician 𐤏𐤋𐤉𐤑 𐤏𐤁𐤀 (Alis-Ubo, “safe harbour”).
Another possibility, based on hydronomy of the area, derives the name from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 331: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "qfa-sub-ibe" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF.'s appellation for the Tagus, Lisso or Lucio.
