Re: Does anyone know what my name means?
in reply to a message by nektarios
I'd say Nektarios is related to the drink of the Greek gods:

Also, copied from my digital Webster's:
Etymology
[Gr nektar < ? base of necros, dead body (see necro-) + tar, who overcomes (akin to Sans tarati, he overcomes): hence, death-overcoming: the drink was held to confer immortality]
