Petikan (the byzantine legacy - link):

The historical district of Galata, also known as Pera, was the site of an important Genoese (modern Genoa, Italy) colony near Constantinople starting in the 14th century. Previously, it was the site of a settlement known as Sykai, and later a fort was built on its shores that protected the northern side of the legendary chain protecting the Golden Horn.

Petikan (all about turkey - link):

Its name was "Sykai" (Fig field) during the Byzantine period. It was also called "Peran en Sykais" in Greek, which means "fig field of the other side". Its name "Pera" which was used by the Levantines came from this origin. The origin of Galata was either "galaktos" (milk) in Greek or "calata" (stairway) in Italian.
