Baby names · Greek origin

Names from myth, philosophy, and the Aegean

Greek baby names carry the longest literary lineage of any tradition. Most have mythological referents (Selene, Atlas, Calliope, Orion) or virtue meanings (Sebastian — venerable, Theodore — gift of God). They read both ancient and modern, sitting well on a poet, a scientist, or a tennis player.
