Description

Our names have not been created randomly. Folklore and linguistic research show the inventiveness of the inspirers-creators, in their effort to compose and convey something good, noble, and beautiful.
With this book, an introduction to modern Greek names is attempted, with an examination of important research aspects:
-Etymology and interpretation of the name
-Popular perception of it
-Who had or have this particular name
-Brief biographies of individuals with this name
-Date or dates of name celebration, in order to discover the charm and power of our existence in the gift and seal of our baptismal or popular name.
This book is also a challenge-invitation, with knowledge and research as allies, to travel in our language and discover meanings that are largely forgotten.
The presentation of the names is done in a simple way, with the ultimate goal of being useful to both the ordinary reader and the specialist researcher.
