About Socrates
Associated with the ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates (often spelled Sokratis) is quite common in traditional Greek families, but for others, we think Plato (the name of his pupil) might be easier to handle for those wanting a philosopher-inspired choice.
Derived from the Greek elements Sos meaning "safe, whole, unharmed" and kratos meaning "power", the over all meaning of Socrates will be an interpretation of the two. Some sources translate it as "healthy and strong" while the more literal meaning could be "safe power".
Pronounced SOK-ruh-teez.
As of October 2026, Socrates ranked #7688 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #1989 in 1931.
