Alex, your name is also Greek, Alexander, which means "defending warrior," although the origin of the name is thought to have come from a title of the goddess Hera, consort of Zeus. If I were you I wouldn't fret over it because your name may come from a Greek goddess, the preacher Apollos in the book of Acts, name comes from the Greek god Apollo, which means "destroyer."
Names all meant something through world history, and that he why parents were careful in picking the names for their children.

Cool, naming your children after relatives must help in feeling a link to your past.
Are you Greek also? Because of "casa" in your last name I thought you might have been Hispanic. Are there many Greek apostolics?
