Lesbian is currently the most usual and acceptable term for homosexual women. It derives from the Greek island of Lesbos (Greek Λέσβος – pronounced Lesvos in Modern Greek) which was the home of the anicent greek woman poet Sappho (Σαπφώ; c.620–570 BC) some of whose poems talk of love for other women.
