Egide is Greek in Origin.
Egide is a name of Greek origin, meaning "shield" or "protector". It is a masculine name that has been used in various European countries, including France, Belgium, and Switzerland. The name is pronounced as "eh-zhee-d" in French, with the emphasis on the second syllable.
The name Egide has a long history, dating back to ancient Greece where it was used as a reference to the mythical hero, Aegidius. The name became popular in the Middle Ages when it was given to boys as a way of invoking the protection of Saint Giles, the patron saint of beggars and cripples. In France, the name was commonly given to boys born in the 19th century, but it has since fallen out of favor.
The name Egide is composed of two elements: "aegis" which means "shield" and "eidos" which means "form" or "shape". The name can be interpreted as "one who takes on the form of a shield" or "one who embodies the protective qualities of a shield". While the name is not as common as it once was, it still holds a certain charm and uniqueness that may appeal to parents looking for a distinctive name for their child.
