Agron (surname)
Agron refers to two surnames with the same spelling, one Jewish and one Hispanic. Etymology As such, there are two origins, the Hebrew Agron (אגרון) and (with Slavic suffix) Agronsky, and the Spanish and Galician Agrón. Per the Museum of the Jewish People, the Jewish names are patronymics of the biblical Aaron, first high priest of the Jews and brother of Moses, and are two of many Jewish surnames related to him. In the United States, the surname is transliterated from "Ahron" in Eastern Europe usage, though "Agron" and "Ogron" were commonly used in Russia. Talmudic scholar Heinrich Guggenheimer suggested that "Agron" and "Agronsky", as well as "Agrin", were variations on "Agranoff"; not knowing the origin, the Guggenheimers wrote these and similar names were perhaps patronymics of Agra, a word in the Talmud meaning "reward". The Hispanic name is a habitational surname, directly meaning "by the dry ground" and deriving from two towns of the same name, one in A Coruña a ...

Agron (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Agron() was a son of Eumelus and brother of Byssa and Meropis.Antoninus Liberalis15/ref> Mythology The family dwelt at Meropis in Kos and worshipped Gaia, who rewarded them with all kinds of goods. However, they were quite impious towards other gods and never participated in religious festivals. Agron was especially disrespectful towards Athena, Artemis and Hermes, and whenever someone invited him or his sisters to take part in a ritual in honor of one of these gods, he would decline the invitation and scorn the deities. Eventually, the three gods paid Agron a visit at night, Hermes being disguised as a shepherd, and Athena and Artemis as country maidens. Hermes invited Eumelus and Agron to a ritual feast in honor of himself, and suggested that they send Byssa and Meropis to the sacred grove of Athena and Artemis where other girls were gathering. On hearing this, Meropis began to ridicule the name of Athena, for which the goddess changed her into an owl. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Agron (dictionary)
''The Agron'' () was Saadia Gaon's first work, completed in 913CE, when he was 20 years old. The book is also known by its Judeo-Arabic name "The Rudiments of Hebrew Poetry". ''The Agron'' is not a Hebrew language dictionary; it does not define the different meanings of words or radicals. Instead, it is a lexicographical reference book for paytan, payṭanim, which includes in its first section words arranged alphabetically by first letter for use in making acrostics at the beginning of the poetic line; in the second section are words arranged alphabetically by last letter (syllable), for use in making rhymes at the end of the poetic line. The work consisted of two parts and was intended to be used in versification, in which acrostics and rhyme were the chief requisites. In a later edition, Saadia added the Arabic translation of each word, and also included passages concerning various "memorable subjects of the poets," and named the work in its new form "''Kitab al-Shi'r''."
