Good Evening

Larisa
Russian: of uncertain origin. It is the name of a Greek martyr venerated in the Eastern Church, and may perhaps be derived from the ancient Thessalian town of Larissa. Variant: Larisa.


zeno
From the classical Greek name Zenon, a short form of any of several names having as their first element Zen-, the stem form of the name of Zeus, king of the gods, for example Zenodoros ??gift of Zeus??. Zeno was the name of two major Greek philosophers and a Christian Eastern Roman emperor (d. 491). Zeno of Elea (c.490-430BC) was an original thinker who challenged common-sense notions like motion and number with sophisticated logical arguments. Zeno of Citium (c.334-262BC) was the founder of the Stoics.

My grandfather was German and named Zeno also... fascinating.

Have a goodnight.
