About Polykarp
One of the least attractive names to come out of the pantheon of Nobel-laureates (via Polykarp Kusch), Polykarp (also spelled Polycarp) is an early Christian saint name from Smyrna. We suggest you look elsewhere for either scientific or religious-inspired names.
Pronounced PAH-lee-karp.
