Evander
Arcadian founder figure
Evander is a masculine given name of Greek origin, meaning "good man." It appears in classical mythology as a culture hero who founded a city on the future site of Rome.
The name has seen modest revival in contemporary use, sometimes chosen for its classical associations or as an alternative to Evan.
The boxer Evander Holyfield brought the name wider recognition in the 1990s.
