Pyrrhus of Epirus

[keravnos]

Interesting. Is their a Greek female name similar to Gaia? reason that I ask, is because there is an Armenian female name Gaiane. The name is Latin, but became very popular in Armenia during the 4th century AD. when two Christian Roman women, Gaiane, and Hripsime were martered in Armenia by King Trtad (before he himself became Christian) After Trtad became Christian he had two churches built in honor of Gaiane and Hripsime (Saint Gaiane Church and Saint Hripsime Church.) Both churches are still in use to this day.

Gaia means earth, and is feminine. Gaiane means literally "from earth" or "of earth". This is also what the greek female name that would come from Gaia be. The male form is "Georgios" or George, which would come from "Gaia"+"ergo" meaning from "Earth" and "work", "He who toils the land". Agriculture is "Georgia" in greek, and farmer is "Georgos". The name George is "Georgios". It is a very interesting story, that of Gaiane, and I think everyone should know that it was Armenia which became the worlds' first Christian Nation, in 306 CE, IIRC. Constantine and The Roman Empire was second.

Well the name George is a very common name. What's interesting about this name is, that diffrent people have given the name their own twist. For example we have Giorgi, Jora which is in Russian, Jorje in Spanish, and Gevorg is in Armenian.

Yes Armenia was the first Christian Nation. The official date is 301 CE, but Ive heard scholars debate it going as back as 287CE to just a couple of years before Constantine declared Christianity.
