Cilicia First Name Meaning

Cilicia is a female name of Latin origin, meaning "That Which Overturns." The name is derived from the geographical region in southern Anatolia, known for its contrasting terrains, with a mountainous western region called Rough Cilicia and a fertile eastern region called Plain Cilicia. The region has a rich history, being settled from the Neolithic period onwards and witnessing the dominance of various empires such as the Hittites, Persians, and Romans. Eventually, Cilicia became part of the Armenian Kingdom and later fell under the control of the Mamluks and the Ottoman Empire. The region also played a significant role during the Crusades and the Armenian Genocide. Today, Cilicia is part of the Republic of Turkey and has a diverse cultural and historical legacy.
