About Greek names
Greek names reach back further than almost any tradition still in daily use, carrying philosophy, mythology, and early Christianity in equal measure. Their meanings tend toward the luminous — gift, light, wisdom, victory. Names like Alexander, Sophia, Theodore, and Penelope have moved through dozens of languages while staying recognizably themselves, which is part of why they feel both classic and current.
Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
