| Iapyx- not the deity but a hero |
According to wiki:
"Iapyx is also the name of a minor Greek wind god, the north-west or west-north-west wind."
Etymology?
Maybe the winds of Apulia?
Apulia is the name of region on Italian Peninsula.
The name fathers wear the IAPYGES.
About IAPYGES from this blog.

But it is not sure. Now we have a very old (Proto-Turkic) stem:
According to Dybo/Starostin:
PTurk. *Ep- 1 to blow 2 movement of air, breeze 3 energy, tempo 4 gusty (wind) (1 дуть, веять 2 движение воздуха, ветерок 3 порыв, темп, энергия 4 порывистый (о ветре)): Uzb. äpkin (dial.) 2; Tat. ip- 1 (Seb.); Kirgh. epkin 3; Kaz. epkin 2; KKalp. epkin 3; Nogh. epkinli 4; Oyr. epkin 2.
◊ Лексика 42.
‖ A Western isogloss; however, in Jpn. the root probably merged with *ĕbà ‘winnow, blow’ q.v. (cf. especially the PJ form with a velar suffix *apu-(n)k-, OJ apug-).
Altaic languages have all similar stems like that. See above.
Proto-Turkic *ebi-s- and *ep- have the same meaning blow, movement of air.

Coincidence?
