Gregory (given Name)
The masculine Given name, first name Gregory derives from the Latin name "Gregorius", which came from the late Greek name "Γρηγόριος" (Grēgórios) meaning "watchful, alert" (derived from Greek "γρηγoρεῖν" "grēgorein" meaning "to watch"). This traditional meaning may be disputed, however, as modern dictionaries translate Γρήγορε (Gregore) as “swift, quick,” while “watchful, alert” are translated as “προσεκτικός” or “άγρυπνος.” Through folk etymology, the name also became associated with Latin ''grex'' (stem ''greg–'') meaning "flock" or "herd". This association with a shepherd who diligently guides his flock contributed to the name's popularity among monks and popes. Sixteen Pope Gregory (other), popes and two antipopes have used the name Gregorius, starting with Pope Gregory I (Gregory the Great). It is tied with Benedict as the second-most popular name for popes, after Pope John (other), John. Alt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
