Male Ukrainian name (Григорій)
Hryhorii (Ukrainian: Григорій) is a male name of Greek origin meaning «watchful», «one who keeps watch», «awake». A name for those who stand guard.
The name derives from Ancient Greek Γρηγόριος (Grēgórios), formed from the verb γρηγορέω (grēgoreō, «to be watchful, alert»). In the Greco-Byzantine tradition the name was borne by several great saints of the Eastern Church — Gregory the Theologian (Nazianzen, 4th century), Gregory of Nyssa (4th century), and Gregory Palamas (14th century) — theologians whose works lie at the foundation of Orthodox theology. The name came to Kyivan Rus with Christianization and was immediately widely adopted. In the Ukrainian tradition Hryhorii is deeply rooted; it was borne by outstanding figures, including Hryhorii Skovoroda — philosopher and poet of the 18th century, a symbol of Ukrainian thought.
From Ancient Greek Grēgorios («watchful, alert»), from the verb grēgoreō («to keep watch»).
