Map of Italy. From Old English Italia Latin Italia Ancient Greek Ῑ̓ταλίᾱ ( Ītalíā ) , possibly borrowed from Oscan 𐌅𐌝𐌕𐌄𐌋𐌉𐌞 ( víteliú ) . Usually explained as a cognate of vitulus ( “ calf ” ) , thus meaning "land of young bulls" in Oscan. In that case, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wet- ( “ year ” ) . According to some ancient Greek authors, named after a king Italus or Italos , whose kingdom was on the peninsula.
