Egeon Is A Masculine Name Of Primarily German Origin, Long Linked To Shakespeares Comedy Of Errors. While A Tragic Figure In The Playwrights Farcical Play, Egeons Two-fold Etymology Is Not To Be Snuffed At. Potentially Related To The Name Eugene, Egeon Could Be Understood As A Variant Of The Greek eugenēs, meaning "well-born." Formidable As This May Be, Egeons Roots In The German Element egin give It The Edgier Meaning Of "sword" Or "blade"—a Twist That Lovers Of The Play May Not Expect.
