Ονόματα που έχουν την έννοια του κόκκινου
MILTIADES Derived from Greek μιλτος (miltos) meaning "red earth".
ADAM This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Assyrian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew אֲדָמָה ('adamah) "earth").
RUFUS Roman cognomen which meant "red-haired" in Latin. Several early saints had this name, including one mentioned in one of Paul's epistles in the New Testament. As a nickname it was used by William II Rufus, a king of England, because of his red hair.
PHOENIX Derived from Greek φοινιξ (phoinix) meaning "dark red". In Egyptian and Greek mythology the phoenix was a beautiful immortal bird. After living for several centuries in the Arabian desert, it would be consumed by fire and rise from its own ashes. This cycle was repeated every 500 years.
SCARLET Variant of SCARLETT or else simply "scarlet" from the English word for the colour. The word is derived (via Old French and Medieval Latin) from Persian saqirlat, the name of a type of cloth.
