Phrygia is Greek in Origin.

A toponymic feminine name from Ancient Greek Phrygía (Φρυγία), the Anatolian region inhabited by the Phryges, Phrygia means "Phrygian woman" or "from Phrygia." The ethnonym’s deeper etymology is debated, sometimes linked to the Bryges of the Balkans. In classical imagination the name evokes the realm of King Midas, the Mother-goddess Cybele, and the musical Phrygian mode, lending it a mythic, old-world aura.

Usage is sparse but well attested in Greek and Latin epigraphy, where Phrygia served as a given name, especially for enslaved or freedwomen whose origins were noted, as well as a geographic byname. The region appears in the New Testament, which kept the term familiar in Christian lands, though not common as a personal name. Variants and related forms include Greek Phrygía, Latin Phrygia; Frigia/Frígia (Romance); Frygia (some Slavic transliterations); and masculine Phrygios/Phrygius and the ethnonym Phryx. Extremely rare today, it suits classical-revival tastes.
