Greek Baby Names

Greek names seem to possess an eternal quality; they make a person stand out while still being pleasant to pronounce. They are transmitted from generation to generation and represent not just power, but also righteousness and civilization. They mean more than power,” he adds. They mean honor and tradition. ” Most of these names bring to mind the gods, heroes, and philosophers that are the foundation of Western culture. What makes them what they are and what makes them feel/look like THEM is that lyrical power and social realism."

These titles, however, rarely are representative of traits that are highly valued in Greek culture, such as bravery, intelligence, and love. Men’s names relate to strength and courage, women’s to beauty and grace. These are not just names; they are glimpses of history and character, shaped by myth and legend.

Greek names are also very common with international people these days as modern and cosmopolitan names. They link the ancient and the modern worlds, maintaining the heritage of one of the most potent and longest-enduring civilizations of all time."
