Ἄργος

Usually said to be related to ἀργός (argós, “bright, shining”).

According to Gamkrelidze's hypothesis, ultimately from Proto-Georgian-Zan *egr- (“~ western Georgia”) (cf. Mingrelian მ-არგ-ალი (m-arg-ali, “Mingrelian”), from Proto-Georgian-Zan *m-egr-el-i), a toponym allegedly picked up by the linguistic ancestors of Greeks during their theoretical migration from near the Caucasus, along with Ἀργοναύτης (Argonaútēs) and Ἀργολίς (Argolís).[1] Few other scholars support the proto-Greeks' migration through the Caucasus and Asia Minor, however.
