As for the name Phoenicia, it comes from the Greek Phoinike, which shares roots with the word phoenixโ€”a term that to the ancient Greeks connoted blood-red or purple. The latter was the color of a natural dye developed by the Phoenicians, who became so closely associated with it that their name reflected the fact.
