Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno Ovídius pochádza z latinského rodového mena Ovidius. Jeho etymológia nie je celkom istá: tradične sa spája s latinským slovom ovis „ovca“, podľa iného výkladu však vzniklo z oskického osobného mena Ovius pomocou prípony -idius. Význam „ovčiar“ či „pastier oviec“ je preto iba tradičným, nie doslovne doloženým výkladom.
