Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Amaranta je talianska a španielska podoba ženského mena Amarantha. Jeho základom je starogrécke prídavné meno ἀμάραντος (amárantos), ktoré znamená „nevädnúci“. Obsahuje záporovú predponu a- a základ súvisiaci so slovesom μαραίνω (maraínō), „nechať zvädnúť, vysilovať“, v netranzitívnom použití „vädnúť, chradnúť“. S rovnakým základom súvisí pomenovanie rastliny amarant, botanicky Amaranthus, po slovensky láskavec. Výklady „večná“ či „nesmrteľná“ predstavujú prenesené významy.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Pôvod a jazykové podoby: Behind the Name – Amaranta a Amarantha. Etymologický základ: Etymonline – amaranth. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidiel vzoru žena: Morfológia slovenského jazyka, 1966, s. 101. Literárny výskyt: Gabriel García Márquez – Cien años de soledad, text na stránke Duke University. Ustálené slovenské domácke podoby sa v použitých prameňoch nepodarilo doložiť; prázdny zoznam nevylučuje individuálne rodinné oslovenia. Hodnota null pri jazykových ekvivalentoch označuje chýbajúce overenie, nie nemožnosť používať pôvodnú podobu Amaranta. Frekvencia mena na Slovensku nebola overená. Nejde o posudok JÚĽŠ SAV ani Milana Majtána.
