I’m looking for names from ancient times, and thought you all might be able to help me!
They can be from any ancient civilization; Greece, [name_u]Rome[/name_u], [name_u]Egypt[/name_u], etc. I’m also not against names from mythology, so feel free to add those too!
Thanks in advance

There are so many and I love the Greek names. There are too many for me to list.
I really like [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f] ( Greek [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] [name_f]Orchid[/name_f]) I don’t think that has been mentioned.
[name_m]Helios[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] is also gorgeous. And [name_u]Elias[/name_u].
