More Greek names
Helena
“The Latin form of Helen, derived from the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or connected to helios, "sun." In Greek mythology Helena was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name was further popularised by Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, who was credited with finding the True Cross.”
Philip
“Philip is a masculine name derived from the Greek Philippos, composed of philein (to love) and hippos (horse) — meaning "lover of horses." It was the name of Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, and one of Christ's twelve apostles. The name has been used across all European cultures since antiquity, including in Slavic countries.”
Eulalia
“Eulalia is derived from the Greek "eulalos", composed of "eu" meaning "well, good" and "lalein" meaning "to speak", thus meaning "sweetly-speaking" or "well-spoken". Saint Eulalia of Mérida was a 4th-century Spanish child martyr venerated widely across the Iberian Peninsula, and her name became a beloved hagiographic name in medieval Christian Europe.”
Meda
“Meda is a short form of names such as Medea, Almeda, or Remedia. Medea derives from the Greek, connected to the sorceress Medea of Colchis in Greek mythology, whose name relates to "medesthai" (to ponder, to plan). As a given name Meda has been used in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe as a simplified variant, as well as in some Native American communities. It also appears in the Germanic tradition as a pet form of Mechthild.”
Luke
“From the Greek Loukas, meaning "man from Lucania" — a region of southern Italy — or possibly derived from the Latin lux ("light"). The name was borne by Saint Luke the Evangelist, author of the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, traditionally believed to have been a physician and companion of Saint Paul. It has been in English use since the medieval period.”
Zoe
“From the Greek ζωή (zoē), simply meaning "life." It was used by Greek-speaking Jews as a translation of the Hebrew Eve (Chava, "living"). In early Christian tradition, the name was associated with eternal life and used by several saints. It has been popular in English-speaking countries since the 19th century and has ranked among the top girls' names globally in the 21st century.”
