The moment I discovered that website, it was rather too clear to me what the name meant! The sound 'etsi' in greek is an actual word, an adverb, meaning: so, thus, in this way. What way? The handmade way, of course! I'm no linguist, neither have any connections to the Etsy team, so I might be completely wrong... But I thought you might want to know my version of the story...! :) No fellow Greek people around here!?
