Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Slovenské meno Ignác pochádza z latinského mena Ignatius. To je obmenou starorímskeho rodového mena Egnatius, ktorého pôvod a význam nie sú bezpečne objasnené; spravidla sa pokladá za meno etruského pôvodu. Podoba Ignatius bola neskôr ľudovoetymologicky priblížená k latinskému slovu ignis (oheň), odtiaľ pochádza tradičný výklad mena ako ohnivý či horlivý.
