Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z neskorogréckeho mena Spyridón (Σπυρίδων), ktoré sa najčastejšie spája s gréckym slovom spyrídion (σπυρίδιον), zdrobneninou slova spyrís (σπυρίς) s významom „kôš, košík“. Spájanie mena s latinským spiritus („duch“) alebo spirare („dýchať“) sa pokladá za druhotnú ľudovú etymológiu.
