Φοῖνιξ

Etymology
The ethnonym is homophonous with, the Greek name of Tyrian purple. There has been some debate as to whether the ethnonym was derived from the name of the dye or vice versa. The ethnonym is found in use in ancient Mycenaean as. One theory is that it is derived from the genuinely Greek adjective. Another theory is that is borrowed from, probably their plural term for "woodcutters" or "carpenters", which would refer to the peoples of the land of Canaan in the region of the Levant to the north, who supplied Egypt with the cedar wood cut from their forests, although there is no evidence that the Egyptians referred to the Phoenicians by this name.
