Hector
Ancient Greek name
Hector is a male given name, from the Trojan prince in Homer's Iliad who was Troy's greatest warrior until Achilles killed him.
The name suggests bravery and nobility in its classical associations, though the verb it spawned took a darker turn. (Lowercase hector means to bully.)
