Talk:Alti

Alti's name
Possible explaination of the name "Alti", is the Greek name Altis (the stress is on the "a"). It was a name of an area, that had a lot of trees, pine trees, plane trees, poplar trees and oaks. Today it is part of what is considered to be the ancient Olympia (not to be confused with Mount Olympus). The ancient local dialect used the word "altis" to mean "grove". Personally I think it is more likely that the name "Alti" is derived from the Altai Mountains in Central Asia.Aesthesis (talk) 17:28, January 4, 2018 (UTC)
