Name Root:
dêmos kritḗs > Dēmókritos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Dēmókritos (Δημόκριτος),” composed of two elements: “dêmos ‎(δῆμος)” (people, common people, district, country, land) plus “kritḗs (κρῐτής)” (umpire, judge). In turn, the name means “judge of the people.” Democritus was an Ancient Greek philosopher born in Abdera, Thrace, Greece. He was an influential pre-Socratic philosopher and pupil of Leucippus, who formulated an atomic theory for the universe. Democritus was born in the city of Abdera in Thrace, an Ionian colony of Teos, although some called him a Milesian. He was born in the 80th Olympiad (460–457 BC), according to Apollodorus of Athens, and although Thrasyllus placed his birth in 470 BC, the later date is probably more likely.
