Gryphon
Meaning of Gryphon
Gryphon carries the lofty echoes of medieval battlements and frescoed halls of a Tuscan villa, where artisans once carved winged guardians above marble doorways. Stemming from the Latin gryphus and Greek gryps, “hooked” or “curved” talons and noble lineage converge into a name that, pronounced GRY-fuhn, soars with protection and the promise of valiant spirit. Parents who choose Gryphon picture their son with the heart of a mythic sentinel, a gentle commander who lords over his dreams with wisdom. In the United States, its supple rise in recent years reflects a taste for names both commanding and poetic, as if each syllable were a brushstroke in a Renaissance canvas. Warm yet formidable, Gryphon envelops a child in storied grandeur with a whisper of adventure—though one hopes he won’t attempt to swoop from the crib in true griffin style.
