wiktionary
From French Rhodes, from Latin Rhodus, from Ancient Greek Ῥόδος(Rhódos), of uncertain etymology. Possibilities include a pre-Greek name (cf. Phoenician 𐤄𐤓𐤏𐤃 (hrʿd), " snake"), ῥόδον(rhódon, “ rose”), and ῥοία(rhoía, “ pomegranate”).
etymonline
Rhodes
Greek island, largest of the Dodecanese, from Greek Rhodos, which is perhaps from rhodon "rose," which Beekes allows as a possibility, or rhoia "pomegranate," but "more likely" [Room] from a pre-Greek name, from Phoenician erod "snake," for the serpents which were said to have anciently infested the island. Related: Rhodian.
