Help[Facts] Re: Syringus
in reply to a message by Kirke
Syringus seems to be derived from the Greek syrinx- that gives us the word syringe and a bunch of medical terms: http://www.wordinfo.info/words/index/info/view_unit/2075
Syrinx was also a nymph in Greek Mythology: http://www.theoi.com/Nymphe/NympheSyrinx.html
I don't see strong evidence of Syringus being used as a first name other than the archduke you mentioned, but I do see Syring as a surname and Syringa as both a surname and a first name.

Not really. I just did a search for people on Facebook with variants of Syringus to get a feel for which names are being used. It is easier than trying to search for them on Google, which only gives you plants and medical terms when trying to search for the names.
