Souvla (Greek: σούβλα) is a popular dish from Cyprus. [1] It consists of large pieces of meat cooked on a long skewer over a charcoal barbecue. [2]It differs from the popular Greek dish souvlaki, in that meat cuts are much larger and slow cooked for a much longer period at a greater distance from the hot charcoal.
The name comes from the Greek γύρος (gyros, 'circle' or 'turn').It is a calque of the Turkish döner, from dönmek, also meaning "turn". [7]In Athens and other parts of southern Greece, the skewered meat dish elsewhere called souvlaki is known as kalamaki, while souvlaki is a term used generally for gyros, and similar dishes.
The word souvlaki is a diminutive of the Medieval Greek souvla (σούβλα meaning "skewer") itself borrowed from Latin subula. [2] [3] "Souvlaki" is the common term in Macedonia and other regions of northern Greece, while in southern Greece and around Athens it is commonly known [citation needed] as kalamaki (καλαμάκι meaning "small reed").
