Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Perhaps of Pre-Greek origin, especially Sicel. The unattested Doric variant could have been *Νέᾱτον (Néāton), that would suggest some relation with νέατος (néatos, “the last, the extreme, the lowest”), irregular superlative of νέος (néos, “new, young”). Otherwise it could be connected with Proto-Indo-European *nes- (“to join with, to conceal oneself”), cognate with ναίω (naíō), νᾱός (nāós, “a temple”), νέομαι (néomai, “to go or come back”), νόστος (nóstos).
