| By a popular theory, the city draws its name from the spiny broom (Calicotome spinosa, xcexb1xcfx83xcfx80xcexacxcexbbxcexb1xcexb8xcexbfxcfx82 in Greek), after which the Greek colony of Aspxc3xa1lathos (Axcfx83xcfx80xcexacxcexbbxcexb1xcexb8xcexbfxcfx82) or Spxc3xa1lathos (xcexa3xcfx80xcexacxcexbbxcexb1xcexb8xcexbfxcfx82) was named. | WIKI |
