Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Slovenské meno Egídius vzniklo z latinského mena Aegidius, ktoré sa spája so starogréckym slovom aigís, v genitíve aigídos, označujúcim koziu kožu a neskôr aj posvätný ochranný štít, atribút Dia a Atény. Význam mena sa preto tradične vykladá ako „nositeľ štítu“, „ochranca“ alebo „človek pod ochranou“.
