From κέρᾰς (kéras, “horn”) + -ῐ́ᾱ (-íā), potentially referring secondarily to the horn shape of the carob fruit, or just suffixing to a Semitic source attested in Arabic قَرَظ (qaraẓ, “acacia”), Classical Syriac ܩܸܪܲܛܵܐ (qerraṭṭā, “acacia; carob”). Compare κερᾱτωνῐ́ᾱ (kerātōníā), κερωνῐ́ᾱ (kerōníā), κεράτιον (kerátion).
