Agidius Origin and Meaning

The name Agidius is a boy's name of German origin.

Agidius is a rare masculine name of Latin origin, representing a variant spelling of the more common Aegidius. The name derives from the Greek word 'aigidion,' meaning 'kid' or 'young goat,' or possibly from 'aigis,' referring to a shield. Historically, the name gained prominence through Saint Aegidius (also known as Saint Giles), a 7th-century hermit venerated in France who became one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers in Catholic tradition. While never widely popular in English-speaking countries, variations of the name appear throughout European history, including Giles in English and Egidio in Italian. Agidius has a scholarly, classical sound that evokes ancient Rome and medieval monasteries. The name's unusual quality offers distinction while its historical connections provide depth and substance for those who bear it.
