Arthurian Myth Names

  1. Lancelot

      French
    • Meaning:

      "servant"
    • Description:

      In Arthurian legend, Lancelot was one of the most dashing of the Knights of the Round Table who eventually had an affair with Queen Guinevere: it makes for a romantic story-- but perhaps overly romantic-- name.
  2. Caradoc

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "amiable, beloved"
