Etymology
Phoenix comes from the old Greek word phoinix, which also meant 'purple' and was linked to the famous purple dye of Phoenicia. The bird was pictured in bright red-purple feathers and was said to burn and be reborn from its own ashes, so phoenix now means 'renewal' or someone who recovers after a disaster.
