Another such name could be Aristotle: it is derived from aristos "best" and telos "purpose, end", and could very way imply "the perfect end".

I also thought a bit about the etymology of the name Stamatios, mentioned by Ivayla. The name itself, meaning "to stop" is medieval/modern Greek, and is derived from the classical Greek "histamai", meaning "to stand".
Related Greek names include:
Hestia (F, Goddess of the home, Vesta in Latin)
Histiaios (M, "he who stands")
Histolaos (M. "the people that stands")
Histomachos (M. "he who stands in battle")
Histonoe (F, "standing in logic" - from "noos", mind)
Historia (F, "History, "standing in time")
Historios (M, "History, "standing in time")
Historides (M, "History, "standing in time")
Historis (F, "History, "standing in time")
Histophanes (M, "appearing to stand")
Histor (M, "he who stands").
