Name Root:
leukós híppos > Léukippos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Léukippos (Λεύκιππος),” composed of two elements: “leukós (Λευκός)” (bright, shining, gleaming, light in color, white, pale-skinned, weakly) plus “híppos ‎(ῐ̔́ππος)” (horse, cavalry, horseman). In turn, the name means “white horse.” Leucippus was one of the earliest Greeks to develop the theory of atomism. Leucippus is a shadowy figure, as his dates are not recorded, and he is often mentioned in conjunction with his more well-known pupil Democritus, who replaced indeterminism with determinism as the ontological cause of atomic movement.
