Name Root:
ékhō > ékhein > Héktōr / Héktoros
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Héktōr (Ἕκτωρ) Héktoros (Ἕκτορος),” meaning “to hold, to possess.” It is probably derived from the Ancient Greek “ékhō (ἔχω) ékhein (ἔχειν),” meaning “have, possess, contain, own, hold back, stay, check.” In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, Hector was a legendary Trojan champion, prince and the greatest fighter for Troy in the Trojan War. The Greek Achilles later killed Hector. In Scotland, the name Hector is often used as an anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic Eachann. The name of Sir Ector, the foster father of King Arthur, is also a variant of the same.
