Grammatical information: pl. m.
Meaning: name of a Greek tribe (Il.).
Other forms: sg. Ἀχαιός Achaean, f. Ἀχαιαί, sg. -ά (s. Schwyzer 460).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The name Ἀχαιοί < ἈχαιϜοί (cf. Lat. Achīvī) is known from Egyptian sources as qjwš', read as Aqaiwaša. Also in Hitt. Aḫḫiya, later Ah̯h̯iyawā, from *ἈχαιϜία or *ἈχαίϜα(?); Kretschmer Glotta 21, 227). Against this Sommer (Aḫḫijavā-Urk., A. u. Sprw., IF 55, 169ff.). The equation is now generally accepted, but the Hittite form has not been satisfactorily explained. (Worthless Finkelberg, Glotta 66, 1988, 127 - 134, who derives the Greek form from Hitt. Ah̯h̯iyawa (!), with h₂y > χ.) - The name is no doubt a Pre-Greek name (Akayʷa?). On the historical side Lehmann, Historische Zeitschr. 262, 1996, 1 - 38; Niemeyer Aegaeun 19, 1999, 141 - 155.
