Theophoric name
A theophoric name (from Greek: θεόφορος, theophoros, literally "bearing/carrying a god") embeds the word equivalent of 'god' or a god's name in a person's name, reflecting something about the character of the person so named in relation to that deity. For example, names embedding Apollo, such as Apollonios or Apollodorus, existed in Greek antiquity. Theophoric personal names, containing the name of a god in whose care the individual is entrusted (or a generic word for god), were common in the ancient Near East and Mesopotamia.
