Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Hyacint je slovenskou podobou gréckeho mena Hyakinthos (Ὑάκινθος), ktoré súvisí so starogréckym pomenovaním bližšie neurčeného kvetu. Samotné slovo je pravdepodobne predgréckeho, neindoeurópskeho pôvodu. V gréckej mytológii bol Hyakinthos spartský mládenec; podľa známej verzie mýtu ho nešťastnou náhodou usmrtil Apollónov disk a z jeho krvi vyrástol kvet.
