The name Lycander is a boy's name of Greek origin meaning "wolf man; man of light, man of morning twilight".

While they may look similar, Lycander is not in fact a variation of Shakespearean Lysander. Pronounced as LIE-kahn-der as LIH-kahn-der, it derives from Lykandros, which gives it two possible meanings: "wolf man" from lykos or "man of light" from lyke. 
 
A rare choice, it could make a fascinating option for those who enjoy names with animal or nature related meanings, and want something like Alexander, Leander, and Luka, but also want it to feel totally unique.
