Help[Opinions] Re: Tigranes
in reply to a message by Ohad Yigal
Hi!
Tigranes (and Tigran) mean "fighting with arrows" or "slender". 🏹
If I think of Tigranes and Tigran the first tie is with tigre (TEE-gre) "tiger" in my language. 🐯
The second thought is Tigris (the great river in Mesopotamia) that ultimately comes from Sumerian *id(i)gina "running water" or "the swift river". 🌊
In my opinion Tigran and Tigranes look so cool! Both for their actual meanings and history and for my personal links. I'd love to see them out of an Armenian ancestry.

I know an Israeli-Swedish composer named Dror Elimelech Feiler fathered a son named Tigran with his swedish wife.
