起源与历史

Derived from the Medieval Latin personal name Aegidius, from the Greek 'Aigidios', itself connected to 'aigis' (the goatskin shield of Zeus), meaning 'bearer of the aegis' or 'kid' (young goat). The name was popularized in France through veneration of Saint Giles (Saint-Gilles), the 7th–8th-century hermit and patron of cripples, whose shrine in Provence attracted major medieval pilgrimage.
