Amazon

Back


for my Christmas/Holiday card.

Where does the word Amazon come from?

Thanks to Anna Yudovin for her drawing of an Amazon Scout. I apologize for editing out the nipple as I don't want to offend YouTube censors (I know.. crazy right?). You can see Anna's artwork here:

I was just wondering about what the word "Amazon" means! Thank you. My name is Brenna. The female variation is supposedly Celtic and it means "Raven maid, dark-haired." I LOVE my name! ^_*

This word is probably derived from an Iranian ethnonym *ha-mazan-, "warriors". Among Classical Greeks, amazon was given a naive etymology as from a- (privative) + mazos, "without breast", connected with an etiological tradition that Amazons had their right breast cut off so they would be able to use a bow more freely and throw spears without the limitation and obstruction.
