Perhaps it is a variant of Bucephalus? Bucephalus was the name of the horse of Alexander the Great. I don't know the meaning or nationality of Bucephalus. Alexander the Great was Macedonian, and conquored many parts of the world, including Egypt and Greece (I believe). Once again, I'm not positive, but it looks similar to Bucephalus.

For the record, Alexander did not conquer Greece, he *was* a Greek Macedonian. What is a Greek, you might ask? I opt for the definition of Iscocrastes, i.e., that a Greek is whoever partakes of a Greek education; it has nothing to do with race and such bullshit! And Alexander spoke Greek, partook of Greek education (as a matter of fact his teacher was none other than Aristotle) and even gave his horse a Greek name Bucephalus (ox head).

Typo: should be Isocrates
