(taken from wikipedia)

The Greeks adapted the word bennu and identified it with their own word phoenix φοινιξ, meaning the colour purple-red or crimson. They came up with the word Phoenicia.

(added)

The Phoenicians traded a purple-red dye of the same name. The people were named for the dye that they traded.

and it also is a Persian myth .. which they call it ققنوس .
