Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

A Greek name traditionally interpreted as 'strong-born' or 'of noble birth'.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pochádza zo starogréckeho mena Ἰφιγένεια (Iphigéneia). Tradične sa vykladá ako zloženina z príslovky ἶφι (îphi – silno, mocne) a základu γεν- súvisiaceho so zrodom či rodom. Význam mena sa preto približne interpretuje ako „z mocného rodu“ alebo „mocne zrodená“. Meno preslávila grécka mytológia, v ktorej ho nosí dcéra Agamemnóna a Klytaimnéstry.
