The Classical Greek ethnic Iones is the result of Homeric Iaones (Iliad 13.685) which comes from the form *lawones. *Iawones is the hellenization of Assyrian Yaw(a)naya (Babyonian Yaémfa)naya) which designates the inhabitants of the Yawan country we find in the Bible, and it corresponds to the ethnical and regional name Yauna in the Royal Achaemenid inscriptions. Yam(a)naya could derive from the Semitic root ’yi/i “island, coast” or yam/yém “sea” (+ ethnical suffix -aya), and designate a sea-people. I do not agree with Carruba who has proposed, for the etymology of Greek lones, a derivation from the name Akhkhiyawa wich designates in Hittite texts the country of the Achaeans. Carruba proposes the fall, firstly, of the initial vowel, then of the guttural, and the addition of the ethnical suffix -wanni: Akhkhiyawa > *Akbkhiya(wa);wanni > *Khiyawanni> *(A)iya(wa)unni > Greek Jaones/Iénes, This evolution seems to me linguistically impossible: if the initial vowel A- could eventually fall from Akhkhiyawa, the Hittite and Luwian voiced laryngal -kh- stays fair in an antevocalic position (Isebaert 2001).
