Canopic is from Greek Κανωπος Kanōpos is a proper name. It's a city in Egypt and supposedly the name of a ship's pilot who died there from a snake bite. The etymology of Greek κωνωψ kōnōps 'mosquito' is problematic, or so says Chaintraine in his etymological dictionary of Greek. (it may be from an Egyptian word and influenced by Greek κωνος 'pine cone'.
