I was wondering what the meaning is of Dioscorus, a latinized Greek name (the original form must have been Dioskoros). The first part of the name is most certainly derived from Greek dios meaning "of Zeus, God" - but I'm not quite sure what the second part might mean. It might be related to Greek koros "boy", but "God's boy" would be a bit of an odd meaning for this name, I think.
