Meaning & Origin of Sinope
Origin: Greek (Anatolian origin).
A common claim: Harm-bringer Actually: Sinope is sometimes explained as Greek for 'harm-bringer,' reading it as sinos ('harm') plus a name-ending, but that's a folk etymology — the name actually predates Greek, coming from an older Anatolian place name of unknown meaning.
