Etymology
The name originates from their worshipped goddess, Aphrodite. Prior to 1571, it was simply named Aphrodite, and again prior to that, Aphrodite Pandemos, or Common Aphrodite, for the idea that she holds relation to the citizens. It is believed this is the origin of Plato's distinction of two Aphrodites (Ourania and Pandemos).
