Name Root:
epí mákhē > epímakhos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “epímakhos (ἐπίμαχος),” composed of two elements: “epí (ἐπῐ́)” (on, upon) plus “mákhomai ‎(μάχομαι) mákhē (μᾰ́χη)” (War, fight, battle, combat, quarrel, strife, dispute, contest, game, battlefield). In turn, the name means “the one who is strong in battle.” 1) Saint Epimachus was a Roman martyr and is commemorated on May 10. After his martyrdom, his body was laid in a crypt on the Via Latina, and later the body of Saint Gordianus, who was martyred during the time of Julian the Apostate, was laid beside Epimachus. The two saints gave their name to the cemetery, and are jointly venerated by the Catholic Church. The feast day is traditionally celebrated on December 12. 2) Epimachus of Athens was a renowned Athenian engineer and architect who is known to have constructed the Helepolis, a huge siege machine first conceptualized by Demetrius I of Macedon and built to be employed in the unsuccessful siege of Rhodes.
