An epithet of the Greek god Zeus, Alastor is a striking masculine name sure to inspire its bearer to strive for the greater good. Meaning "avenger" or “defender of men," Alastor is by no means a name for the faint of heart—after all, Zeus earned the title for being an avenger of evil deeds. Teaching baby what morals to adhere to is perhaps one of the most important gifts you can bestow on them, and with Alastor as their title, the lessons learned will no doubt disarm many and empower many more. Very fittingly, Alastor can also mean “one whose deeds will not be forgotten” and “wandering” in Greek, perfectly describing the immeasurable impact that little Alastor’s words and actions will have on those they meet.
