Name
The name 'Naupactus' means 'boatyard', from ναύς (ancient Greek naus meaning "ship") and πηγνύειν (Ancient Greek pêgnuein meaning 'to build'). In the Byzantine period, the name used was the slightly altered Epahtos (Έπαχτος), while the Venetian term was Lepanto and the Ottoman Turkish İnebahtı. The ancient name was revived in the 19th century.
