From Greek Πολυπέρχων, from Ancient Greek πολυς (polus) "much" and an uncertain second element. It could be from πέρθω (pérthō) "to sack, ravage, destroy" or ἔργον (érgon) "work, labor, task". This was the name of a Macedonian Greek general who served both Philip II and Alexander the Great and then played an active role in the ensuing battles for control between Alexander's generals.
