Hyacinthus
hya-cin-thus,
hyaci-nthus
Origin:Greek
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Hyacinth
Equally fragrant as its feminine counterpart, Hyacinthus is a masculine moniker of Greek origin. The Latinized form of Hyakinthos (spelled Ὑάκινθος in Greek), Hyacinthus draws inspiration from the vividly colored hyacinth flower, known for its royal hues of red, blue, pink, and purple. This floral connection also underpins the feminine name Hyacinth, which gained newfound popularity through the Bridgerton series and novels. In Greek mythology, Hyakinthos met a tragic fate when he was accidentally killed by the god Apollo, who, in his grief, transformed Hyakinthos’s spilled blood into the beautiful flower we know today. Simply meaning "hyacinth," Hyacinthus adorns your little one's name with a touch of nature, myth, and flower power!
