Athos

Athos is a masculine name deeply intertwined with Greek mythology and history. This moniker is most associated with the story of Athos, a mountain god who, after a fierce battle with Olympian deities, hurled a mountain at Zeus. That mountain became Mount Athos, one of Greece's most stunning sites and the epicenter of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. While Athos' exact meaning is unknown, it may stem from Άγιο, a Greek word meaning "holy." While the mountain god Athos' temperament was far from peaceful, his actions resulted in the formation of a sacred site. Giving your little one this name could be a lovely way to encourage them to make a positive impact on the world.
