Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the ancient Greek word ἠχώ (ēchō), meaning sound, which itself is related to ἤχē (ēchē, noise). In Greek mythology, Echo was a mountain nymph whose voice was reduced to only repeating the last words spoken by others. The term entered Late Latin as echo and was adopted into Middle English in the 14th century.
