Variations such as Alex, Alexa, and Alexandrios offer alternative options. Like Saint Sebastian, numerous other figures also derived their names from Greek origins.

Is it important to consider the middle name when choosing a Greek boy name?

According to Greek naming customs, individuals typically have a first name followed by a patronymic name and a family name. For instance, an example name would be Yiorgos Georgiou Aetos. The patronymic name is formed using the fathers name, often with the suffix -ou denoting of. For instance, Georgiou signifies(son) of Georgios. It is common for individuals to have a second personal name in addition to their patronymic name, which serves as their middle name
