إيبيزا

Arabic

Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish Ibiza, likely via English Ibiza due to the use of the letter ز (z) instead of ث (ṯ) or س (s) if it were to be borrowed directly from Spanish. Ultimately from Catalan Eivissa, from Arabic يَابِسَة (yābisa), from Latin Ebusus, from Phoenician 𐤀𐤉𐤁𐤔𐤌 (ʾybšm).
