Etymology
Borrowing from Latin Sardinia, from Ancient Greek Σαρδώ (Sardṓ), from its name in a pre-Roman substrate language, *sard, *shard. It is connected by some scholars to the name of the Sherden or Shardana Sea People. A Phoenician inscription found in Nora and dated to the 9th century B.C.E. identifies the island as shardan.[1]
