It is both a volcano and a mountain, which locally are called u vurcanu/il vulcano (m.), u munti/il monte (m.), a muntagna/la montagna (f.). Nowadays local people perceived “It” as a feminine noun, prima facie, because it is named a Muntagna (and then Italianized as la Montagna), secondly also because of the widespread use to refer at It by calling Her “mamma Etna”. Sometimes also the ending in “-a” could mislead some speaker about its grammatical gender. ==== Derived terms ==== etneo === Proper noun === Etna f (Greek mythology, Roman mythology) Aetna (Sicilian nymph) (historical) Aetna (ancient Sicilian city) === Proper noun === Etna m or f by sense a surname === Further reading === Stefano Ravara (2015–2026), Mappa dei Cognomi‎[1] === Anagrams === -ante, ante, ante-, nate, tane == Old English == === Alternative forms === Etne, Ætne === Etymology === Latin Aetna === Proper noun === Etna m or f Etna (volcano in Sicily, Italy) === References === Joseph Bosworth; T.
