Neckarios
n(e)-cka-rios
Origin:Greek
Meaning:Nectar, drink of the gods
While the masculine names Neckarios and Nektarios might differ by one letter, they both stem from the same cup. With Greek origins, Neckarios shares Nektarios' meanings of “nectar” or “drink of the gods,” referring to the divine beverage favored by the Olympian gods and goddesses. Often served by the goddess of eternal youth, Hebe, nectar was said to confer immortality on all who drank it. It was typically paired with ambrosia, the divine food of the gods. Today, the word “nectar” is perhaps most recognizable for its connections to the natural world. If you and Neckarios live near a place where flowers grow, you’ll know nectar as the sugar-rich liquid that attracts bees and other animals to pollen-filled plants.
