"Λύγδαμις" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Λύγδαμις in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /lýɡ.da.mis/, /ˈlyɣ.ða.mis/, /ˈliɣ.ða.mis/, /lýɡ.da.mis/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈlyɡ.da.mis/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈlyɣ.ða.mis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈlyɣ.ða.mis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈliɣ.ða.mis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Borrowed from Cimmerian Proto-Scythian *Luǧdamiya, *Duǧdamiya, perhaps from *duǧdā (“milk” or “milk cow”), related to Proto-Iranian *dáwgdi (“to milk”), + *-mā (possessive suffix), literally, “having milk” or “having milk cows” (compare Avestan personal name 𐬔𐬀𐬊𐬨𐬀𐬧𐬙 (Gaomaṇt, literally “having cattle”)), + *-iya (adjectival suffix). Alternatively a two-stem hypocoristic of a name such as *Duǧdamēšī, compare Avestan personal name 𐬛𐬀𐬡𐬭𐬀𐬨𐬀𐬉𐬱𐬌 (Daβramaēši), with second element 𐬨𐬀𐬉𐬱𐬍 (maēšī, “ewe”). Parallel borrowing with Neo-Assyrian 𒁹𒌇𒁮𒈨𒄿 (Dugdammī) and 𒁹𒌇𒁮𒈬𒌑 (Dugdammū).
