Hypotheses for the etymology of the name "Italia" are numerous. [26] One is that it was borrowed via Greek from the Oscan Víteliú 'land of calves' ( cf. Lat vitulus "calf", Umb vitlo "calf"). [27] The bull was a symbol of the southern Italic tribes and was often depicted goring the Roman wolf as a defiant symbol of free Italy during the Social War . Greek historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus states this account together with the legend that Italy was named after Italus , [28] mentioned also by Aristotle [29] and Thucydides . [30]
