The origin of the name has not been exactly defined. Vesuvius came from a now extinct language of Southern Italy, a word 'fesf' meaning smoke. An alternative explanation was that Hercules was also known as Vesouvios (son of Ves) and this name changed over the years to Vesuvius. The Greeks and Romans believed that Vesuvius was the dwelling place of Hercules
No, Mount Vesuvius was not named after anyone. The name "Vesuvius" is thought to have originated from the Oscan language and translates to "unquenchable" or "burning." This name likely reflects the volcano's history of eruptions and volcanic activity.
