I'd look into the history of existing cities, how they got their names, consider land marks such as bodies of water, mountains, forests ,and people/figures of importance as inspiration. Heads of state/founders, legendary heros, gods, ect, make use of the language, and slight alterations where needed.

What he said.

Say the city is built around a huge library. Library in Greek is "vivliothiki". Call the city vivlithio or something.
