Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from Greek πρῶτος (protos) meaning "first" (also see Proteus). The second element is either derived from Greek αγορευω (agoreuo) "to orate, to speak publicly" or from Greek ἀγορά (agora), which can mean "assembly" as well as "market".This name was borne by a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher from the 5th century BC.
