Aqua is Latin for water. Its use as a short form of aquamarine is recorded from 1936. CSS aqua and cyan are exact aliases: both represent #00FFFF. Either keyword produces the same specified sRGB color.

Cyan, a greenish blue, entered English in 1889 as a short form of cyan blue, recorded in 1879. It comes from the Greek kyanos, dark blue, a word also used for dark blue enamel and lapis lazuli. Etymonline says kyanos is probably not an Indo European word but may be akin to a Hittite word meaning copper blue. In CSS it is written cyan (synonym of aqua).
