Jogys - "The 'J' in Lithuanian sounds like a 'Y', and while 'y' is sometimes used as a vowel, when a surname begins with a 'Y' sound, it actually starts with a 'J'. 'Y' is only an alternative to 'I' in Polish and Lithuanian. Yogis in an Americanized version of the Lithuanian surname Jogys. The meaning/origin of Jogys should be compared to the Lithuanian surname Joga. These names are patronymics of the German names Jogg, Jag, Jaag which are forms of Jacobus [M. Gottschald, 1954]. Jacob is the English equivalent of Jacobus. Jacob is masculine meaning 'to hold the heel' or 'supplanter' from the Hebrew name Yaakov. There were 3 Jogys(es) living in Lithuania circa 1985."

JACOB (m) "to hold the heel" or "supplanter" from the Hebrew name Yaakov. The biblical Jacob (later called Israel) was born holding on to his brother Esau's heel. He was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel.

alone on the desert, on his way to meet his hostile brother Esau, Jacob was troubled. Would there be war or peace? Then comes the malachi, a word which can either mean a spirit being (angel) or a physical messenger. Jacob wrestles with the malachi and is wounded in the leg, but wins the battle and is blessed with a new name, as is the shaman. No longer would he be called Yaakov, 'the Heel'; now he has become Yisroal, 'the Godwrestler'

Hyakinthos, the young son of the King of Sparta, beautiful like the very gods of Mount Olympos, was the friend of Apollo, shooter of arrows. Apollo often came down to the shores of the Eurotas River in Sparta to spend time with his young friend. They would go hunting together through the woods and glades on the mountain sides, or they would practice gymnastics, a skill for which the Spartans were renowned.
Once, in the heat of a summer afternoon, Apollo and Hyakinthos were throwing the heavy discus, and each was trying to outdo the other. The bronze discus flew higher and higher, almost reaching the sky. Finally, the powerful god gathered all his strength, and spun and wheeled and let fly the shiny discus which rose swift as a bird until it reached the clouds. Then, glittering like a star, it began to tumble down.
Hyakinthos ran towards the place the discus was headed. He was hurrying to take his turn, to prove to Apollo that he, though just a young athlete, was no less able than the god at throwing the discus. The discus landed, but having fallen from such a great height it bounced back up and violently struck Hyakinthos in the head. He let out a groan and crumpled to the ground. The blood spurted thickly from his wound, coloring crimson the curly black hair of the handsome youth.
Horrified, Apollo raced over. He bent over his friend, raised him up, rested the boy's head on his knees, trying desperately to staunch the blood flowing from the wound. But it was all in vain. Hyakinthos grew paler and paler. His eyes, always so clear, lost their gleam and his head rolled to one side, just like a flower of the field wilting under the pitiless rays of the noonday sun. Heartbroken, Apollo cried out: "Death has taken you in his claws, beloved friend! Woe, for by my own hand you have died. Why did I have to cast the discus so high? Oh, if only I could pay for my deed by joining you in your journey to the cheerless realms of the dead. Oh, why am I cursed to live forever? Why can't I follow you?
Apollo held his dying friend close to his breast, and his tears fell in a stream onto the boy's bloody hair. Hyakinthos died, and his soul flew to the kingdom of Hades. The god bent close to the dead boy's ear, and softly whispered: "In my heart you will live forever, beautiful Hyakinthos. May your memory live always among men as well." And lo, at a word from Apollo, a fragrant red flower rose from Hyakinthos's blood. We call it hyacinth, and on its petals you can still read the sigh of pain that rose from Apollo's breast. And the memory of Hyakinthos lives on among men, who still celebrate him in mid-summer at the Hyakinthaea festival.

HYACINTH (m,f) From the Greek name Hyakinthos, which is derived from the name of the Hyacinth flower. In a Greek legend Hyakinthos was accidentally killed by Apollo, who caused the lily to arise from his blood. This name can also be given in direct reference to the flower (or the precious stone which also bears this name), in which case it is generally feminine.
JACINTO (m) Spanish and Portuguese form of HYACINTH
