Male Ukrainian name (Аркадій)
Arkadii (Ukrainian: Аркадій) is a male name of Greek origin meaning «inhabitant of Arcadia», «Arcadian». Arcadia is a mountainous region of the Peloponnesian peninsula that in ancient and Renaissance tradition became a symbol of an idyllic, pastoral life.
The name derives from Ancient Greek Ἀρκάδιος (Arkádios) — an adjective from the name of the region Ἀρκαδία (Arkadía) in the central Peloponnese. In ancient tradition Arcadia was associated with a simple pastoral life, shepherds, and the god Pan; this idyllic imagery made «Arcadian» a symbol of paradisal simplicity. The name entered the Christian tradition through several early Christian saints — notably Saint Arkadios of Cyprus (4th century). It reached the Slavs through Byzantine literature.
From Ancient Greek Arkádios — «Arcadian, inhabitant of Arcadia», from the name of the region Ἀρκαδία.
