  The word oxygen is Greek in origin, composed of 'oxy-': sharp, acid â¦ (as in oxymoron, which literally means 'sharp-dull'), and '-gen': something that produces (as in pyrogen: that which makes fire, pathogen: that which makes disease, hydrogen: that which makes water).rom wikipedia: Its name derives from the Greek roots á½Î¾ÏÏ (oxys) (acid, literally sharp, referring to the sour taste of acids) and -Î³ÎµÎ½Î®Ï (-genÄs) (pro â¦ ducer, literally begetter), because at the time of naming, it was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition.
This is a rare example of a toponym of Irish origin, denoting an Anglo-Norman whose first place of settlement in Ireland was County Meath. In the thirteenth century we find families of the name in Kildare, Offaly, Cork and Limerick, and it is in these very same counties, along with Meath itself, that we also find âMiaghsâ (the anglicised Gaelic form) in the sixteenth century and later.
