Sounds Like: eh-leh-OH-po-lin
Translations: oil-city, a city of oil, a city of olives, a city of mercy, a city of pity
From the root: ΕΛΕΟΠΟΛΙΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This is a compound noun, likely formed from 'ἔλαιον' (elaion, meaning 'oil' or 'olive oil') or 'ἔλεος' (eleos, meaning 'mercy' or 'pity') and 'πόλις' (polis, meaning 'city'). Given the context of ancient economies, 'oil-city' or 'city of olives' is a very plausible interpretation, referring to a city known for its olive oil production. The alternative 'city of mercy' or 'city of pity' is less common for a place name but grammatically possible. It would be used to refer to a city, often as a proper noun.
