Etimoloxía
From Ancient Greek Θῆβαι (Thêbai), from two different sources. The name of the Greek city is further derived from Ionic-Attic Θήβη (Thḗbē), from Mycenaean Greek 𐀳𐀣 (te-qa /Tʰēgʷā/), from Proto-Hellenic *Tʰēgʷā, while the name of the Egyptian city is from Egyptian Demotic tꜣ-jpy (literally “the temple”), with the second component from earlier Egyptian O45*t:pr (jpt, “(inner sanctum of) a temple”) (cf. jpt-swt and pꜣ-n-jpt).
