Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Jerguš je slovenská nárečová a domácka podoba osobného mena, ktorá sa neskôr osamostatnila. V slovenskej onomastickej literatúre sa spája s menami Gregor aj Juraj. Pri výklade z Gregora nadväzuje na grécke Grēgorios vo význame „bdelý, ostražitý“; pri výklade z Juraja na grécke Geōrgios vo význame „roľník, obrábateľ pôdy“.
