It is historically known as Trebizond, Trapezund, Tribisonde and Trapezus. In Latin, Trabzon was called Trapezus, which is the latinization of the Ancient Greek Τραπεζου̃ς (Trapezous [in rom.]), the first name of the city. Both in Pontic Greek and Modern Greek, it is called Τραπεζούντα (Trapezounta [in rom.]). In Ottoman Turkish and Persian, it is written as طربزون (= Trabzon). During Ottoman times, Tara Bozan was also used. Some western geographers used this name instead of the Latin Trebizond. In Laz it is known as T'amt'ra [in rom.] or T'rap'uzani [in rom.] and in Georgian it is T'rap'izoni [in rom.]. The 19th century Armenian travelling priest Byjiskian called the city by other, native names, including Hurşidabat and Ozinis. The city was founded as Τραπεζου̃ς (Trapezous [in rom.]) by Milesian traders (756 BC).)
