Leander
Hero's drowned beloved
Leander is a masculine given name from Greek mythology, where Leander swam the Hellespont nightly to visit his lover Hero until he drowned in a storm.
The name means "lion-man." It appears occasionally in English-speaking countries but remains uncommon: Leander was named after his great-grandfather.
