Why exactly is Adriatic a name derived from modern Times? The Adriatic Sea is named after an etruscan colony and the name is used at least since the 5th Century BC. The Name is found in works of Herodotus or Euripides. And since the Adriatic borders the greek Homeland, it shouldn't be improbable that it's mentioned somewhere in colonial religous writings.

:I agree with Natanael. While the White Star Line's Adriatic probably contributed to using the name on the show, the word itself is NOT a modern neologism (Cf. Cloud Nine, which is). The wikipedia link provided even discusses the ancient etymology of the name. [[User:Albelicious|Albelicious]] 01:51, 22 August 2011 (EDT)
