      The name Ephigenio has roots in Italian and Spanish, deriving from the Greek word ephemeros, which means lasting only a day or short-lived. This connection lends the name an inherent association with concepts of transience and impermanence. In cultural contexts, it is often linked to themes of ephemera or fleeting existence, highlighting the transient nature of life and experiences.
