Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Egon je nemecká podoba starohornonemeckého mena Egino, ktoré vzniklo ako osamostatnená skrátená podoba zložených germánskych mien začínajúcich sa prvkom Egin-. Tento prvok sa spája s germánskym základom *agi- vo význame „strach, hrôza“, neskôr významovo ovplyvneným starohornonemeckým slovom ekka „ostrie, hrot meča“.
