The origin of Ionian appellation

About 700 years ago, the military expansion and subsequent immigration activities brought Ionians from Euboea to Cumae in eastern Sicily and near Naples, and Sami to Nagidus and Celenderis Rees in the Philippines. Among the city-states established by Ionians, it is said that Miletus once had 90 immigrant areas and became the hub of the Black Sea, while Fosia, an important town in the Mediterranean, once established an immigrant area in Massilia, now Marseille. The word "Ionia" is called Iawone in Homer's epic, Yauna in Persian, Yewanim in Hebrew and Yunani in Turkish and Arabic. However, in the end, the name Ionia became the unanimous name of all Greeks in the East, and it has not changed.
