Lysander

Lysander comes from the Greek, beautifully meaning 'liberator' or 'one who releases.' This name, with its roots in 'lysis' (release) and 'aner' (man), carries a sense of strength and freedom. It evokes an image of someone who is not just physically strong but also endowed with a strategic and intelligent mind, making it a classic choice for those who appreciate a name with depth and historical resonance.

In terms of popularity, Lysander has had an interesting journey. It re-emerged in 1955 after disappearing post-1931. It saw a dramatic leap of 3345 spots between 1999 and 2000, peaking at #2184 in 2024, which is also its latest rank. However, it experienced a significant drop in 2004, moving from #5558 to #8926 in just a year. Despite these fluctuations, it has never made it into the top 100.

Lysander is a name that feels both classic and strong, perfect for parents seeking something unique yet timeless. Its association with liberation and intelligence suggests a person who is strategic and forward-thinking, making it an appealing choice for those who envision a bright future for their little one.
