Thessaloniki = Thessalo + niki = "region in the south of Macedonia" + "victory" : King Philipp named his daughter Thessaloniki after his victory over Thessalie. Alexander the great's general Kassander who married Thessaloniki, created a new city and gave it the name of his wife. So Thessaloniki was the original name of the city in Greek.
Thessalónica is a Latin reading of the word Thessaloníki, so probably Protestants may find this term instead of the Greek one, living in countries with a Latin tradition. But ancient Thessalonians were Greek speakers, so they used the Greek name, not the Latin one.
Thank you brother for making this!!
