Etymology
The name "Thyropinia" originates from the original Piraean settlers during the latter period of the Lasithian Hegemony. The name is a merging of two Piraean words. Thyr- coming from Piraean θῠ́ρᾱ (thýra), meaning door, and -opinia, coming from ὄπῐον (ópion), meaning opion. The full name Thyropinia then means the "port of opium", due to the plant's cultivation in ancient Gulbistan. The endonym Darifun is a Mershi corruption of the Piraean name.
