History of the origin of the name Agrafena

The name Agrafena comes from the ancient Roman name Arippina, which in turn is the female version of the male name Agrippa. Pliny the Elder said that this name dates back to the times of the Republic. And in those days it meant children who were born feet first. Then the name Agrippa became a family name. And the female name Agrippina began to mean belonging to the house of Agrippa.

This name, along with other Roman and Greek names, came to Rus’ along with the adoption of Christianity. Here they began to change and simplify it. First, the name turned into Ogriffina, in this form it can be found in Russian chronicles, and then into the well-known Agrafena.
