"Gypsy" is one of a large group of etymons, (such as "Gitan", "Gitano", "Kipti", "Yifti", "Kopte", "Magup" etc.) which ultimately derive from the spurious self-presentation by 8th century Byzantine fortune-tellers of themselves as the inheritors of ancient Egyptian wisdom. (Marsh 2008) The presentation included exotic dancing and music, and thus the essential elements of the "Gypsy" stereotype were in place more than 200 years before the Romani language was consolidated. Among those who took advantage of this ‘Egyptian’ identity were "Dom" who reached the east Mediterranean around the 9th century. When the first Romani speakers arrived in Anatolia in the 11th century, sounding and looking a bit like "Dom", we may speculate that Greeks and Turks alike saw them as a new set of 'Egyptians’: the Roma walked into a pre-existing stereotype.
