ArchivesMeaning of the name Mandras
Does anyone know the meaning of the greek boy's name Mandras (pronounced Man-DRAS, not MAN-dras)?
I can't find many information about it, I just noticed it in 'Captain Corelli's mandolin' movie and thought it was an interesting name.

I'm reading Captain Corelli's Mandolin and wondering the same. Is it a real name or is it made up based on a word relating to his character?
For instance, according to myth, mandrake is a plant which when uprooted screams, killing anyone who hears it. An apt analogy of Mandras' descent into darkness after leaving home.

It might have been a last name. I checked it on Google.
