Άrgos / Argeía > Argeîos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Άrgos (Ἄργος) Argeía (Ἀργεία) Argeîos (Ᾰ̓ργεῖος),” meaning “glistening, shining, shiny.” In Greek mythology, Argus was the king and eponym of Argos. He was a son of Zeus and Niobe, daughter of Phoroneus, and is possibly the brother of Pelasgus. Argus Panoptes, a guardian of the heifer-nymph Io and son of Arestor, was a primordial giant whose epithet, “Panoptes,” “all-seeing,” led to his being described with multiple, often one hundred, eyes. In Greek mythology, Argea (Argia, Argeia) was a daughter of King Adrastus of Argos, and Amphithea, daughter of Pronax. Argos is a city and a former municipality in Argolis, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it is part of the municipality Argos-Mykines, of which it is a municipal unit.
