Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Metod je slovenskou podobou gréckeho mena Methodios, odvodeného od podstatného mena methodos vo význame „postup, skúmanie, bádanie, metóda“. Toto slovo vzniklo spojením predložky meta („s, za, po“) a podstatného mena hodos („cesta“). Meno sa preto voľne vykladá ako „ten, kto postupuje určitou cestou“ alebo „hľadajúci, skúmajúci“.
