==Etymology==
Starting in the third century BC, the name ''Calabria'' was originally given to the Adriatic coast of the [[Salento]] peninsula in modern [[Apulia]].<ref name="The Italic People of Ancient Apulia: New Evidence from Pottery for Workshops ... - Google Books">{{cite book |editor1-last=Carpenter |editor1-first=T.

The whole region of Apulia received the name ''Regio II Apulia et Calabria''. By this time modern Calabria was still known as ''Bruttium'', after the [[Bruttians]] who inhabited the region. Later in the seventh century AD, the [[Byzantine Empire]] created the Duchy of Calabria from the Salento and the [[Ionian Sea|Ionian]] part of Bruttium. Even though the Calabrian part of the duchy was conquered by the [[Lombards]] during the eighth and ninth centuries AD, the Byzantines continued to use the name ''Calabria'' for their remaining territory in Bruttium.<ref>{{cite book |last=Colafemmina |first=Cesare |title=The Jews in Calabria |date=2012 |publisher=Brill |location=Leiden, The Netherlands |isbn=9789004234123 |page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=nSYyAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA1 1]}}</ref>

Originally the Greeks used ''Italoi'' to indicate the native population of modern Calabria, which according to some ancient Greek writers was derived from a legendary king of the Oenotri, [[Italus]].<ref>{{cite book |author=Dionysius of Halicarnassus |author-link=Dionysius of Halicarnassus |title=Roman Antiquities |year=1937 |publisher=Harvard University Press |chapter=1.35 |chapter-url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Dionysius_of_Halicarnassus/1B*.html#35 |access-date=19 February 2021 |archive-date=15 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221215151343/https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Dionysius_of_Halicarnassus/1B%2A.html#35 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author=Strabo |author-link=Strabo |title=Geography |title-link=Geographica |publisher=Harvard University Press |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-674-99201-6 |editor-last=Jones |editor-first=H.

Over time the Greeks started to use ''Italoi'' for the rest of the southern Italian peninsula as well. After the Roman conquest of the region, the name was used for the entire Italian peninsula and eventually the Alpine region too.<ref>{{cite book |last=Pallottino |first=Missimo |title=A History of Earliest Italy |year=2014 |publisher=Routledge |location=New York City |isbn=9781317696827 |page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=nk7XAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA50 50]}}</ref>
