Egeria Name meanings & History

The name Egeria is derived from the Latin word "egerere", meaning to carry, lead or bring forth. In Roman mythology, Egeria was a nymph who advised the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, on religious matters. Possibly connected to Greek αἴγειρος (aigeiros) meaning "black poplar", a type of tree (species Populus nigra). In Roman mythology this was the name of a nymph best known for her liaisons with Numa Pompilius, the legendary second king of Rome (after Romulus). According to the 2nd-century writer Sextus Pompeius Festus, pregnant women offered sacrifices to Egeria in order to bring out the baby (note, Latin egerere means "to bring out"). Egeria is mostly used as a first name for girls.
