ΝΑYΠΛΙΟ

Nauplio is a name of an ancient port in Greece. The name's origin is a mystery for Greeks themselves. Meanwhile it's formed of the Kartvelian na-prefix (a toponymic prefix of the former place of the root) and a root 'upli' (shortened 'upali' (უფალი) meaning 'Lord'). This root is present in other toponyms such as famous Uplistsihe, as well as in the dictionary in combination with the na-prefix: ნაუფლისწულევი (nauplistsulevi) - 'hereditary estate'.
