Aradippou (Greek: Αραδίππου [locally [aɾaˈðipʰu]]) is a town and municipality in Cyprus, located on the outskirts of the city of Larnaca.

[2] The name Aradippou derives from its first settler, either King Aradippos or Radippos, with two versions of its origin.

The second version refers to Radippos (or Rhodippos), of Greek descent, who settled near the southern shores of Cyprus after the Trojan War, founding a settlement there.

[9][10] During the Middle Ages, it was known as the Court of the Despotissa due to a royal mansion belonging to Margarita de Lusignan, sister of King Leon VI and granddaughter of Amalric.

[11] Aradippou was established as a municipality in 1986, following a referendum on February 23, where 98% of the residents voted in favor of transforming the Improvement Council (ancestor of the community council institution) into a municipality.
