Lancelot
Lancelot is a male given name, most associated with Sir Lancelot of the Lake, the greatest knight in Arthurian legend—renowned for his martial prowess and tragic affair with Queen Guinevere.
The name suggests chivalric romance and flawed heroism.
Rarely used as a given name today, it sounds deliberately literary or old-fashioned: They named their son Lancelot after the knight.
