Lisbon's name is believed to derive from the Phoenician term "Alis Ubbo," meaning "Pleasant Harbor." This reflects the city's origins as a settlement due to its strategic coastal location. Over time, the name evolved through various languages and influences, eventually becoming "Lisboa" in Portuguese. Another theory suggests it may have roots in the Latin "Felicitas Julia Olissipona," but the Phoenician origin is the most widely accepted.
