Which metal gets its name from the island of Cyprus?

The question is well phrased but the reply fails to explain whether copper was mined in Cyprus and its historical role

I learned in high school in ancient history that copper was first mined in Cyprus. The word for the metal derives from the first place it was mined in quantity.

why and how is copper sulphate a poison?

Indira, Did you miss, "a metal from Cyprus"?

Indira, Maybe the answer is too complicated. Copper and it's alloys bronze and brass(?) were used before ancient greek times. More than two thousand BC.
