ArchivesRe: Erifili???
in reply to a message by Eri
The name derives from the Greek words "ERI", 'great', 'very', 'a lot', 'quite' and "FYLON", or "FYLE", 'nation', 'tribe', 'race'. It means "of great nation".

Thanks.Are you sure though that eri means a lot? I was once told that it's form the word eris(åñéò)which means dispute or sth.

Absolutely sure, plus the other meanings I mentioned before. You can check any good dictionary of Ancient Greek language.

In Greek mythology, Erifili was the daughter of Lysimache and Talaos(king of Argos), sister of Adrastos and wife of Amfiaraos. Another Erifili was the daughter of Salmoneus.
