Aegidus

Aegidus is a masculine name most likely inspired by the Latin names Aegisthus and Aegidius. Derived from the Greek word aigos, Aegidus means "of a goat" or refers to the skin of a goat. Sharing the same root as Aegis, the name of the shield wielded by Zeus and Athena, Aegidus can also be interpreted as “the protecting.” Goats play a crucial role in Greek mythology as a symbol of fertility and their likeness to the nature god Pan. Choosing this Aegidus for your kiddo is one way to place an intention of protection on them.
