Etimologia (Inglese)

A saints' name from the Latin gens name Ignātius, Egnātius, of uncertain meaning, by folk etymology associated with Latin ignis (“fire”). It might be related to Ancient Greek ἴγνης (ígnēs, “indigene”), ἴγνητος (ígnētos), from *ἔν-γνη-τες (*én-gnē-tes), formed from έν (én) + Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁- (“to give birth, produce”), also seen in γίγνομαι (gígnomai, “to come into being”). Perhaps of Etruscan origin.
