Reply to comment by Mr_G_Dizzle in Utopia”: meaning ‘no place’; from Greek: οὐ (not’) and τόπος (‘place’) by Sphaerocypraea
Probably something like: "Eh-oo-t-ο-p-os"
(I'm not certain exactly how the omicron was pronounced)
And know that the "Eu" later became the sound "you" as in Euphoria or Euclid, so it'd transform into "you-topia"
