Meaning & History

The first element of this name is derived from the Greek verb ἡγέομαι (hegeomai) meaning "to go before, to lead (the way)" as well as "to guide", which is closely related to the Greek verb ἄγω (ago) meaning "to lead, to guide" as well as "to bring, to carry". The second element of this name is derived from the Greek noun λόχος (lochos) meaning "ambush", a word that later came to signify a tactical sub unit of the ancient Greek army. The word is ultimately derived from the Greek verb λοχάω (lochao) meaning "to lie in wait for, to waylay" as well as "to snare".
