Old Greek Names Novels & Stories

"Nerokles… I would name our son Nerokles or Serakles." "Nee-rock... lees?" I asked, eyebrows shooting up. "Sarah... Klees? Are you serious?” "They are ancient Greek names bestowed on only the most beloved of male children," she whispered, panting harshly and closing her eyes. "I want to give my children names that they can cherish, names that will prove they are loved by me and names that carry actual meaning," she said looking at me as if she was lucid. But I couldn't take the risk.

"A little... Hyperion is not usually one of the calmest people." I noticed in his eyes that he didn't regret what had happened, he even looked proud. Strange… “You and your Greek names.” I rolled my eyes and started to follow. “My name is Alexander, it's a pleasure to meet you,Sophia Turner.” “See, another Greek name.” I gave a low laugh and got into the elevator and saw him press the button for floor 42. “Where I come from, people like Greeks and Greek gods.” “Well, if they didn't like it, it would be weird to name you like that.You are my son/daughter and I will name you Greek just because I hate them.”

Heartly pried. I shook my head, "No, not junior. But something that would resemble Dion's name. I was thinking of naming him if he is a baby boy as Bacchus since Bacchus is Dionysus's name in Roman mythology. Remember, Dionysus is the god of wine in Greek mythology? But the name Bacchus was a bit off, so, I am thinking of something." Caroline nodded in agreement and commented, "Yea. Bacchus sounds off but wait! Have you noticed? Gin is actually a kind of liquor and that name has something to do with the name Dionysus!"

was all I could utter while trying to avoid the looks of the vampires in the office. The meeting was over after more than three hours of making strategies. The Lycan thread is growing to be more serious than before. Especially after our last battle. That is what I concluded from the coven members, Apollyon, Ambrose, Atieno, Afanas, and Aldon. Elijah told me that their names were picked up on their personalities..... - Apollyon means the destroyer in Greek culture. - Ambrose means the immortal divine, and it's also a Greek name.

He just kept on barking. "Achilles? That's a unique name," Caspian bent his knee and patted my dog too. "I guess. Achilles is a Greek name which originated from the greatest warrior among the Greeks and the one who slayed Hector. So when my Brother gave me him, I named him 'Achilles' since I was very interested in Greek Mythology's Troy." I explained. "I see, his name definitely fits him," he replied when I noticed the maids whispering and squealing.

“Its for when the thread of life is cut. I told you were Greek.” He laughed thinking about the others in her family having tattoos that signified the Greek gods. “Next you’re going to tell me that Jupiter has a tattoo of a lightning bolt.” She wasn’t sure if he had but it caused her to think about it thoughtfully. Jace took that as a chance to poke fun and tease even more. “Are you serious? He actually has one and think he’s the god of gods? That’s rich but suits his personality.” “I don’t know if he does or not but if he does why would I even want to know. Besides it was just me and my sisters that got these. You know because in of our last name, the Moiria was another name for the fates.”

His deep, raspy voice didn't quite match his modelesque face; but I was thankful he hadn't slammed the door in my face and went back to bed. "Astraia Ilithyia." Please don't ask me what the hell my mother was thinking when she named me. I chalked it up to the pain meds. The man slowly started to smile. I thought he was going to start laughing, but to my surprise he didn't. "That's a doozy. My name is Baltasar; it literally means 'protect the king'". I felt a sense of relief when he told me his name; it was almost as bad as mine. My first name is of Greek origin. Astraia was a goddess of justice. My last name is of Greek origin also.

she mumbled looking up at me gesturing for me to occupy the seat across from her. Moving on shaky legs towards her, I took a seat and plastered on my best smile, "Thank you, it actually has two meanings. One in Hebrew which can mean rising and another in Arabic which also means exalted, my mother gave me that name," I replied, when I had asked her why she gave me the name she just shrugged and said she found its meaning imperative in establishing my place in life. It ensured that I never feel inferior but have a positive attitude by seeing myself as the best even when in doubt. "It was actually Victor who thought it would be a great idea to name our son, Nicholas. My husband was always a fan

“After your mother.” My throat tightens. “Hope Beatrice Kingston.” “Or Caldwell-Kingston,” he smiles. “Whatever you want.” “Hope Beatrice,” I repeat. “I like the sound of that. It’s meaningful.” “I love it too. However, what if our baby turns out to be a boy?” He asks. “Well… I am thinking Ares,” I finish without hesitation. “Ares?” “Greek god of war,” I explain. “Strong. Fierce. A fighter. Also we can add Nicholas as a middle name. What do you think?”

It was just that she could sense him even though Beast’s scent was masked. “Theodore, nice name, beasty!!” He said, grinning wide. “Dare you!!” He warned. “It means ‘gift of God’ or ‘divine gift.’ The original Greek name Theodoros is a compound of theos (God) and doron (gift).” Alaric said, knowing very well that he would have no idea of this name, and he was right about the way Beast became a statue after knowing the meaning of the name; it was clear that he wouldn’t have thought that the name his mate had given him could be this beautiful.
