Troy

In Latin, Troy (Greek Ilium) was the ancient city that was the object of the Trojan War recounted in the Iliad. It was named after Tros, the founder of the city. (Ilium was named after one of his sons, Ilus.)

English word: Our word Trojan means an inhabitant of Troy. It also means someone who shows pluck, endurance, or determined energy, as in the phrase"work like Trojans." We also have the phrase Trojan horse, meaning a treacherous gift, bearing the seeds of the destruction of the recipient.
