The Arsinoyis Street took its name from Arsinoyi, a historical figure from ancient Cyprus. Arsinoyi was the wife of King Leontokrates of Cyprus during the Ptolemaic dynasty. Also known as Arsinoyi II, she was the queen of Cyprus in the 3rd century BCE and had significant influence in the political and cultural affairs of that era. During her reign, she conducted numerous excavations and projects to improve Cypriot society. The street that bears her name recognizes the importance of Arsinoyi in the history of Cyprus and the Ptolemaic period, while also honoring her contributions to ancient Cypriot culture.
