Nicandro is a beautiful boy’s name of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese origin, meaning “victory of a man.” Inspired by the Greek name Nicander, Nicandro has the history of Ancient Greece to thank for its meanings. Nicander of Colophon was a poet, doctor, and grammarian whose works would influence other iconic lyricists like Ovid and Virgil. Only two of his poems survive completed, but naming your little one Nicandro could be another way to remember his glory.
