| Naming Notes | Agnodice (Greek: Ἀγνοδίκη) is a name rooted in ancient Greek mythology and history, often associated with one of the earliest known female physicians. According to legend, Agnodice disguised herself as a man to study medicine in 4th-century BCE Athens, where women were prohibited from practicing medicine. She later revealed her true identity after successfully treating female patients, becoming a symbol of defiance against gender restrictions. The name "Agnodice" itself can be interpreted as "chaste justice" or "pure righteous judgment," reflecting her courageous pursuit of justice and care for others despite societal constraints. |
