This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Héktōr (Ἕκτωρ) Héktoros (Ἕκτορος),” meaning “to hold, to possess.” It is probably derived from the Ancient Greek “ékhō (ἔχω) ékhein (ἔχειν),” meaning “have, possess, contain, own, hold back, stay, check.” In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, Hector was a legendary Trojan champion, prince and the greatest fighter for Troy in the Trojan War. The Greek Achilles later killed Hector. In Scotland, the name Hector is often used as an anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic Eachann. The name of Sir Ector, the foster father of King Arthur, is also a variant of the same.

This name derives from the Hebrew “‘êlı̂yâh / ‘êlı̂yâhû > Eliyahu,” Ancient Greek “Hēlías (Ἡλίας),” meaning “my God is the lord.” Eliyahu was a famous prophet and a miracle worker in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of Ahab (9th-century BC), according to the Biblical Books of Kings, as well as the Qur’an. In Islam, the Qur’an describes Elijah as a great and righteous prophet of God and one who powerfully preached against the worship of Ba’al. In Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania, he is known as “Elijah the Thunderer,” and in folklore, he is held responsible for summer storms, hail, rain, thunder, and dew.
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “hḗlios (ἥλιος)” Latinized as Helius (sun, east, day, sunshine). Helios was the personification of the Sun in Greek mythology. Helios was imagined as a handsome god crowned with the shining aureole of the sun, who drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day to earth-circling Oceanus and through the world-ocean returned to the East at night. The Greek “ἥλιος” is the inherited word for the sun, cognate with the Latin “sol” and the Sanskrit “Surya.” In Greek mythology, the Heliades (Greek: Ἡλιάδες, ‘children of the sun’) were the daughters of Helios and Clymene the Oceanid.

This name derives from Old Norse “Herleifr / Hærlæif,” composed of two Proto Norse elements: “*hariaR” (warrior, leader of an army) plus “*laiƀaR / leifr” (heir, descendant, son of).
This name is a variant form of Herleif and HærlaugR. It is of Old Norse origin and comes from the following roots: (HERLEIFR / HÆRLÆIF) and (HÆRLAUGR).
This name derives from the Old High German “Hildimar,” composed of two Ancient Germanic elements: “*hildiz” (battle, fight) plus “*maru-” (famous). In turn, the name means “the famous fighter, one who is famous in battle.” St. Hildemar was a Benedictine bishop of Beauvais, France, consecrated in 821. He had served as a monk at Corbie. The priest Hildemar, of Tournai, Belgium, migrated to England, where he served as a chaplain in the court of the Norman king William the Conqueror.
This name is a variant form of Athalmar, Adalmar, Heilmar, Helmer and the short form of Helmerich. It is of Germanic origin and comes from the following roots: (ADALMAR) (*HAILAGAZ *MARU-) and (*HELMAZ *RĪKIJAZ).
This name derives from the Old Norman “Williame,” (French: Guillaume; German: Wilhelm). In turn, the name derives from the Old High German name “Willihelm,” composed of two elements: “*wiljô” (will, wish, desire) plus “*helmaz” (helmet, protection); thus the Old German Name “Wilhelm” and the Old Norse name “Vilhjálmr” have the same roots. The first well-known bearer of the name was Charlemagne’s cousin William of Gellone, William of Orange, and Guillaume Fierabrace (755–812). This William is immortalized in the “Chanson de Guillaume,” and his esteem may account for the name’s subsequent popularity among European nobility. 1) William I (1028–1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William, the Bastard, was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until he died in 1087. 2) William I (Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig, 1797–1888) of the House of Hohenzollern was the King of Prussia (1861–1888) and the first German Emperor (1871–1888), as well as the first Head of State of a united Germany. 3) William Tell is a famous hero of Switzerland. His legend is tracked in a Swiss chronicle of the late 15th-century.

In turn, the name means “a healthy spirit, fighting spirit, combative spirit, healthy spirit.” Helmut Newton (1920–2004) was a German-Australian photographer. He was a “prolific, widely imitated fashion photographer whose provocative, erotically charged black-and-white photos were a mainstay of Vogue and other publications.”

This name is linked to three different roots: 1) From the Ancient Germanic “*ermunaz,” meaning “strong, whole, tall, exalted, whole, great, powerful” (making it a relative of Ermenrich). 2) From the Gothic “*amal / ama-l,” meaning “work, brave, diligent, the Amali” (making it a relative of Amalric). 3) From the Old High German “*haimaz,” meaning “home, house” (making it a relative of Henry). The second element is “-ric,” from the Ancient Germanic “*rīkijaz,” meaning “kingly, royal, noble, mighty, distinguished, powerful, rich.” It is probable that one Germanic form was merged into a single name and later generated its variants.

The origin of this name is still today quite uncertain. The theories include: 1) From the Old Norse name “HæmingR”, composed of two elements: “hamr” (cover, covering, skin, slough, shape, form, guardian, spirit) plus “-ingr” (patronymic form meaning “Son/descendant of, ‘belonging to, coming from “). 2) From the Old Norse “hemingr,” meaning “‘the skin of the shanks.”
This name comes from the Old High German “Heriman,“ composed of two elements: “*harjaz” (army, army leader, commander, warrior) plus “*mann-” (man, the name of the M-rune). The name means “warrior, fighter.” The Old High German element “man” is related to “*mundō” (protector, protection, tutelage, guardianship), for example, the Old Norse name “Hermundr.” Hermann of Reichenau (1013–1054) was an 11th-century scholar, composer, music theorist, mathematician, and astronomer. He composed the Marian prayer, Alma Redemptoris Mater. He was beatified (cultus confirmed) in 1863. Arminius, also known as Armin or Hermann (Ancient Germanic (Latinized): Arminius), was a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci who defeated a Roman army in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. The story of Armida, a Saracen sorceress, and Rinaldo, a soldier in the First Crusade, was created by the Italian poet Torquato Tasso. In his epic Gerusalemme liberata, Rinaldo is a fierce and determined warrior who is also honorable and handsome.

He was Apollo’s son and a muse or perhaps, according to other traditions, of Dionysus and the goddess Aphrodite: he was one of the young men loved by Apollo himself. Hymen is supposed to attend every wedding. If he did not, then the marriage would supposedly prove disastrous, so the Greeks would run about calling his name aloud. He presided over many of the weddings in Greek mythology for all the deities and their children.
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Himerios (Ἵμερος),” meaning “love burning, unleashed desire.” Himeros was another son of Sphrodite and Ares. Like his brothers, he is depicted with a bow and arrows, to create desire and lust in people. Himeros represented sexual desire or unrequited love. Himeros was identified by his carrying a Taenia, a colorful headband worn by athletes.

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “huákinthos (ῠ̔ᾰ́κινθος) Huákinthos (Ῠ̔ᾰ́κινθος),” meaning “Hyacinth, reddish-blue or deep purple color.” Jacinth is the name of a flower and precious stone of this color. The Hebrew word used for Jacinth in the Bible is “Leshem.” 1) Hyacinthus is a divine hero from Greek mythology. His cult at Amykles southwest of Sparta dates from the Mycenaean era.

Prince Eugene of Savoy was one of the most successful military commanders in modern European history, rising to the highest state offices at the Imperial court in Vienna. Born in Paris, Eugene grew up around the French court of King Louis XIV. Blessed Eugenia Smet (1825–1871) founded the Holy Souls’ Helpers’ Society in 1856. Her feast day is 7 February.

He is celebrated in the Greek Orthodox Church on November 17 but is not listed in the Roman Martyrology. 2) Gennadius († 1505) was Archbishop of Novgorod the Great and Pskov from 1484 to 1504. He was most instrumental in fighting the Heresy of the Judaizers and is famous for compiling the first complete codex of the Bible in Slavic in 1499, known as the Gennady Bible. Gennady is a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Thus, “lover of horses” can also be considered as “noble.” Prominent Philips, who popularized the name includes Kings of Macedon “Philippos” and one of the apostles of early Christianity. The name was also an epithet of Alexander the Great. It should be noted for clarity; the word “horse” is frequently found in ancient Greek names (for example, Hipparchus, Hippocrates, Hippolytus, and Xanthippe).
