Relating to Halicarnassus, an ancient Greek city on the coast of Asia Minor, or its inhabitants and culture.
From 'Halicarnassus' (ancient Greek city, modern-day Bodrum, Turkey) plus the suffix '-ean' (relating to). The city was famous as the birthplace of the historian Herodotus.
Halicarnassus gave the world the Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders, which is where we got the word 'mausoleum'—a city so impressive that a tomb building became famous by its name!
