Khna is a Latin equivalent of the English name "Phoenicia." The Latin name respects what the Phoenicians called themselves, Kn'ny ("red-died wool-wearers") in the land of Kn'n ("Canaan"). The ancient Romans also used the term Poenī, from the ancient Greek designation Φοίνικες (Phoínikes) for "purple (cloth-exporters and wearers)."
