(FYI, there are many more Tripolis. It's not a very distinctive name.)

It means "three cities" in Greek.

For example, the Polish "Trojmiasto" (Gdynia, GdaƄsk, Sopot) could be translated as Tripolis into Greek.

Given how urban the ancient Mediterranean civilization was, such clusters could well develop.
