All variations of the city's name derive from the original (and current) appellation in Ancient Greek, i.e. (; from , ''Thessalos'', and , ''Nikē''), literally translating to "Thessalian Victory". The name of the city came from the name of a princess, Thessalonike of Macedon, half sister of Alexander the Great, so named because of her birth on the day of the Macedonian victory at the Battle of Crocus Field (353/352 BCE).〔

Names in other languages prominent in the city's history include ''Солѹнь'' (''Solun'') in Old Church Slavonic, ''סלוניקה'' (''Salonika'') in Ladino, ''Selanik'' (also ''Selânik'') in Turkish (سلانیك in Ottoman Turkish), ''Solun'' (also written as Солун) in the local and neighboring South Slavic languages, ''Салоники'' (''Saloníki'') in Russian, and ''Sãrunã'' in Aromanian. In local speech, the city's name is typically pronounced with a dark and deep ''L'' characteristic of Macedonian Greek accent.〔
