Etymology and name origins

The name “Carthage” is an Early Modern English form derived from Middle French “Carthage,” which in turn comes from Latin “Carthāgō/Karthāgō.” Latin forms are connected to Greek “Karkhēdōn/Karkhadōn” and an Etruscan form reconstructed as *Carθaza. The ultimate source is the Punic name “qrt-ḥdšt,” meaning “new city,” which also underlies the adjective “Carthaginian” (from Punic “qrt-ḥdty”).
