Name Root:
theós phúlax / phulássō > Theophýlaktos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Theophýlaktos (Θεοφύλακτος),” composed of two elements: “theós ‎(θεός)” (divine, a deity, a god, God) plus “phúlax ‎(φύλαξ) phulássō ‎(φυλάσσω)” (guard, sentry, protect, defend, ambush, watch for, wait for, maintain, preserve, cherish). In turn, the name means “the guardian of god, guarded by God.” Theophylactus became bishop of Nicomedia in Asia Minor, following the iconoclastic controversy of the eighth century. He is recognized as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church for his tireless defense of the faith, for miraculous deeds attributed to him, and for his Christian spirit. The feast day is traditionally celebrated on March 8. Pope Benedict IX (Latin: Benedictus IX ~1012–1056), born Theophylactus of Tusculum in Rome, was Pope on three occasions between October 1032 and July 1048.
