HelpRe: Protasia and Jesuslina (edited)
in reply to a message by mirfak
Oh, I think protasis is "put forward (a question or proposition)" or "first (at the beginning, esp of a play or poem: introduction, first act)". Protasso can mean "urge, bid, arrange, enjoin, define".
Yeah, protection is different, but the origin is similar. It's basically like "in front of, going before (guarding, shielding)"...that makes sense to me next to Gersavius tbh.
It could potentially allude to any kind of prioritizing? Or could relate to leadership, being at the forefront, initiative? But I don't know specifically how it originated as a name before the saint.
