Corfu is an island in Greece, in the sea to the north-west of the main part of the country. It is one of the Ionian Islands, and people go there on holiday for the water, the old town, and the warm weather. You always write it with a capital C, because it is a place. English speakers usually say it like KOR-foo. Though actually, the name did not start in English: it came in from Italian Corfù, and before that from Greek, from a word for a mountain top or peak. The old fortress in Corfu Town sits on two peaks, and that is what the name is pointing at. It is not the same place as Corinth, which is on the mainland.
組成Borrowed from Italian Corfù, from Ancient Greek Κορυφώ (Koruphṓ), from κορυφή (koruphḗ) “summit, mountain peak”. Named after the twin peaks of the Old Fortress of Corfu.
