Meaning of the word "Kannapolis"

Kannapolis is a combination of the Greek words "Canna" (Reeds or Looms) and "Polis" (City) which means "City of Looms". Originally the soon-to-be town was known by the spelling "Cannapolis" but J.W. Cannon thought it was an ugly word and changed it to "Kannapolis".
