as a First Name
In modern use, probably directly from the vocabulary word (Greek ēkhō, which reached English via Latin). In classical mythology, this was the name of a nymph who pined away with love for Narcissus until nothing remained except her disembodied voice. Although the Greek word purports to be derived from the name of the nymph, in fact the word is of Indo-European origin, and so the truth seems to be that the nymph was invented to explain the word.
