Meaning & History
Derived from the Greek adjective λυκόφρων (lykophron) meaning "wolf-minded", consisting of λύκος (lykos) meaning "wolf" and φρήν (phren) meaning "mind, heart, emotions". Also compare φρονέω (phroneo) meaning "to think" as well as "to be minded". Alternatively, the first element could derive from λύκη (lyke) meaning "light; morning twilight".
