Pompeyn.

Brit.

/ˈpɒmpi/, U.S.

/ˈpɑmpi/

Origin: Apparently from a proper name. Etymon: proper name Pompey.

Etymology: Apparently originally < Pompey, anglicized form of the name of the Roman statesman and general Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (see Pompeian n.¹), although the reason for the application of the name in any of the senses is unclear.The origin of sense 3 has been the subject of much conjecture; no documentation has been found to support any of the various explanations which have been put forward, such as an association with the name of the French ship La Pompée (captured by the British at Toulon in 1793 and subsequently based at Portsmouth), or with the ancient column at Alexandria, nicknamed Pompey's Pillar (which was reportedly scaled by sailors from Portsmouth). Considerably earlier currency of the nickname is perhaps implied by the phrase paws off, Pompey : see paw n.¹ 2c and discussion at that entry.
