In Italian, the mountain is called Etna (masculine), but the local population refers to the volcano in feminine. The name is usually etymologically derived from the Indo-European * aidh- ("to burn"). Since the sound shift from “dh” to “t” can neither be derived from the linguistic history of Greek (name ancient Greek Αἴτνη Aitnē) nor from that of West Italian, it is assumed that the word of the older language class of the original inhabitants of Sicily (Sikanen) before the colonization by the Greeks. In colloquial language, Etna also has the name “Mongibello”, derived from Latin “mons” (from which Italian “monte”) and Arabic “djebel” (جبل), which both simply mean “mountain”.
