Luthor

US Popularity Rank: 25890

Origin: German

Meaning: Salvation army

Luthor is a masculine name of German origin. Composed of liut meaning “salvation,” and heri meaning “army,” the moniker reads as “salvation army.” There couldn’t be a more contrasting namesake than Alexander Luthor, a supervillain figure in DC Comics. The extraordinary thing about him is that he is just a regular human with no natural superpowers. His ability and genius lie in his aptitude for business, politics, science, and technology. But he is a testament to how powerful ordinary beings are, to the extent that Superman considers him his archnemesis! So, baby Luthor will not only be a formidable character to contend with, but they will be able to command respect wherever they go.
