Genoa

Genoa
Genoa city in Italy, It. Genova, from L. Genua, perhaps from a PIE root meaning “curve, bend,” which means it could be a cognate of GENEVA (Cf. Geneva). Other theories hold it to be perhaps from janua "gate," or in reference to the Italic god JANUS (Cf. Janus). Adjective forms in English included M.E. Genoway (also in pl., Janeways), c.1400, from O.Fr. Genoveis, from It. Genovese. In later English, Genoese is from 1550s; Genovese from c.1600.
