Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Jácint je maďarskou podobou latinského mena Hyacinthus, ktoré pochádza zo starogréckeho mena Hyakinthos (Ὑάκινθος). Toto meno súvisí s gréckym pomenovaním bližšie neurčeného kvetu; samotné slovo sa pokladá za pravdepodobne predgréckeho pôvodu. V antickej mytológii ho nosil Hyakinthos, mladík spájaný s Apolónom.
