Polydore

As Polydoros, this rare Greek name belonged to several figures in Greek mythology, including a son of King Priam of Troy.

This Anglicized form (also spelled Polidore) has been borne by eminent people including the Italian humanist scholar and historian Polydore Vergil, English saint Polydore Plasden, and the Belgian rower and Olympic medalist Polydore Veirman (1881-1951).

Pronounced PAHL-i-dor.
