Thuyan.

Brit.

/ˈθ(j)uːjə/, U.S.

/ˈθujə/

Etymology: An irregular representation of Greek θύια , more correctly θύα , name of an African tree ( Thuja articulata Linnaeus, now Callitris quadrivalvis), the source of the thyine adj. wood (Greek ξύλον θύϊνον ) of Rev. xviii. 12. See also thuja n.Theophrastus H. Pl. 5. 3. 7 has θύον and θύα, rendered by Pliny N.H. 13. 16. 30 ‘thyon, ab aliis thya’. Medieval Greek manuscripts and early printed editions gave the Greek as θύιον, θυία, which Theodorus Gaza tr. Theophrastus 1483, Latinized as tyium, thuia. Camerarius, 1577, has thya from Pliny and thuia after Gaza; he applies the name to the American Arbor Vitæ, Thuya occidentalis. Bauhin, 1671, has the barbarous form Thuya for Thuia or Thuja. Tournefort used Thya from Pliny, which was also preferred by Linnæus Philos. Bot. (1750) 175 ‘Thya, male Thuja et Thuya’. Latin had himself used Thuja (variant of Thuia) in 1737, and reverted to it in his definitive Sp. Pl. 1753; and this was generally followed by British botanists and horticulturists, and is still in popular English use. But French botanists continued to use Bauhin's Thuya (Littré has ‘Thuia ou Thuya’), and this has been followed by Bentham and Hooker, and adopted at Kew as the generic name. (Sir W. T. Thiselton-Dyer.) The only defensible form etymologically is of course Thya.

Botany.

Name of a genus of coniferous trees, consisting of about ten species, of which the North American T. occidentalis and the Chinese T. orientalis are commonly cultivated under the name Arbor Vitæ. (The tree so called by the ancients is now known as Callitris.) Also attributive, as thuya-wood.
