       | This may or may not be connected to the recent strong tremors in
       | Santorini.

       | What I want to know is who named that thing "Kolumbo". That's not
       | a Greek name. We got so much prime material for Greek-mythology
       | inspired names of volcanoes. e.g. "Charybdis" would fit right in.

         | Wikipedia seems to agree with you:

         | Koloumpo (Greek: Koloumpo) But the word "Kolumbo" is used 11
         | times in the article about "Kolumpo"

           | This is just you not knowing that Koloumpo is "Kolumbo".
           | There's no discrepancy to explain; they are the same thing
           | and "Kolumpo" would be an error.
           | 
           | It's still true that Columbo isn't a Greek name. But there's
           | nothing unusual about its Greek spelling; there's no other
           | way to spell "b" in modern Greek than "mp".

         | It isn't related.
