Agron (given name)


Agron is a given name. It is a popular male Albanian name.

History

Agron appears as a name in Rider's English-Latin reference dictionary of the 17th century, with the entry reading: "Agron, ita dict. quod in agris natus esset. The name of a King; also a Physitian." The Latin translates to "so-called he who was born in the countryside". Similar later works, including by Robert Ainsworth and Thomas Mortimer, focused more on the physician bearing the name, writing how he was said to have set large fires around Athens and successfully stopped the Plague of Athens.
