Meaning & History
Derived from the Greek adjective λάμαχος (lamachos) meaning "eager for battle". This name can also have formed independently from that word, in which case it is a dithematic name that consists of the Greek noun λαός (laos) meaning "(the) people" combined with the Greek noun μάχη (mache) meaning "battle".This was the name of an Olympic victor from the 1st century BC.
