Etymology
Koine comes from the Greek word koinē, which means 'common' or 'shared', the same idea as the English word 'common'. It was the everyday Greek used by many people across the eastern Mediterranean, so the name shows it was the 'common' form of Greek used for trade, writing, and early Christian texts.
