The record for Gorgonia
Gorgonia is recorded as a feminine given name in Cebuano. Similar classical personal names and the same-spelled coral genus create different possible associations, but the exact entry supplies no derivation.
A botanical word's dictionary meaning should not be substituted for a person's name history without a documented link. This record preserves the attested form while stronger exact-name etymological evidence remains outstanding.
