La historia del nombre

Etimología

Raíz: Amed · Toponym

Amed is the Kurdish name for the city now officially called Diyarbakır in Turkey. The pre-modern name Amid / Āmida is attested in Roman, Byzantine and Aramaic sources for the same site, and the Kurmancî form preserves that older name. Using Amed is a deliberate cultural-political choice.
