Cato
Ancient Roman name
Cato is a Roman name borne by two statesmen famous for moral severity.
Cato the Elder (234–149 BCE) was known for ending every speech with "Carthage must be destroyed." Cato the Younger (95–46 BCE) opposed Julius Caesar and killed himself rather than submit.
The name now evokes stubborn principle or uncompromising opposition: He played Cato to the committee's excesses.
