Etymology
The word iconic comes from the Greek word eikon, meaning 'image' or 'picture', and is also linked to the familiar English word icon. So something iconic is like a strong image or symbol that stands for an idea, person, or place, which is why we call very famous buildings or people 'iconic'.
