Best Answer

"All-port" is an English equivalent of "Palermo."

Specifically, the Italian word owes its origins to the language of ancient Greek navigators, settlers and visitors to Sicily. The original Greek word is "Panormus," which tends to be translated as "(Largest) port of all (seas)" or as "All-port." The original Greek and the subsequent English translations pay tribute to the view of Palermo as the quintessential, beautifully functioning natural harbor.

The pronunciation of the Italian word is "pah-LEHR-moh."
