Etymology

Lisboa is the Portuguese name for Lisbon and most likely comes from old words used by sailors like Allis Ubbo that mean 'safe harbour'. A helpful way to remember it is to picture the city as a 'safe harbour' on the Tagus River, though one popular story says the name comes from the hero Ulysses.
