== Name == The name Aradippou derives from its first settler, either King Aradippos or Radippos, with two versions of its origin. The first suggests Aradippos came from the island of Arados off the coast of Syria. The second version refers to Radippos (or Rhodippos), of Greek descent, who settled near the southern shores of Cyprus after the Trojan War, founding a settlement there.
