There is a request for comments process to bring in more editors if there is a stalemate.

message: The first settlement on the territory of today's Niš was founded by the Celts in the 3rd century BC, and the city itself got its name from the river Nišava (Naissa), which the Celtic inhabitants called "Fairy river" (Navissos). The city and the river have never changed their names since they were named, and the meaning has remained the same: Niš—Vilingrad, Nišava—Vilinreka.[4]
Various conquerors left behind their own version of the name of this city: Roman Naissus, Byzantine Ναισσός/Nysos, Slavic Niš, Turkish نیش (Niş), German Nissa[3], Arabic Talnasi.[5] Sources also record the name Naica. 93.87.119.12 (talk) 23:41, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Change quoted Name section:
The town was named after the Nišava River, which flows through the city. It was first named Navissos by Celtic tribes in the 3rd century BC. From this term comes the Latin Naissus, the Greek Nysos and the Slavic Niš.[7] Other variations include: Νάϊσσος, Ναϊσσός (Naissos), Naessus, urbs Naisitana, Navissus, Navissum, Ναϊσσούπολις (Naissoupolis). In Old Serbian, the town was known as Niš (written Нишь and Ньшь). The name is historically rendered as Nish or Nissa in English.[10]
Niš evolved from the toponym attested in Ancient Greek as ΝΑΙΣΣΟΣ (Naissos), which achieved its present form via phonetic changes in Proto-Albanian and thereafter the placename entered Slavic.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Nish might indicate that Proto-Albanian was spoken in the region in pre-Slavic antiquity.[13][18][16] Per Eric P. Hamp the name of Niš is clearly Albanian in shape.[19] According to Ismajli (2015), when this settlement happened is a matter of debate, as Proto-Albanians might have moved relatively late in antiquity in the area which might have been an eastern expansion of Proto-Albanian settlement as no other toponyms known in antiquity in the area presuppose an Albanian development.[20] The development of Nish < Naiss- may also represent a regional development in late antiquity Balkans which while related may not be identical with Albanian.[16][21]''
Change to (for reasons of pseudoscience and cherry picking:
