Greek Baby Names

When you name a child Alexander, Sophia, or Theodore, you're drawing on 3,000 years of human storytelling. Greek names originate in the epics of Homer, the dialogues of Plato, and the traditions of the Orthodox Church. Their meanings — wisdom, divine gift, defender — are not decorative. Ancient Greeks believed a name shaped destiny.
