Origins

From the base of Ancient Greek Σαρματίᾱ (Sarmatíā, “Sarmatia”) and the feminine adjective-forming suffix -ῐς, -ῐδος (-ĭs, -ĭdos). Compare the alternative form Sauromatis from the variant Σαυρομᾰ́της (Sauromắtēs). For the ending, compare Nīlōtis f, from Νειλῶτις (Neilôtis), feminine of Νειλώτης (Neilṓtēs); also Memphitis.
