Socrates Meaning

From the Greek name Σωκρατης (Sokrates) , which was derived from σως (sos) "whole, unwounded, safe" and κρατος (kratos) "power". This was the name of an important Greek philosopher. He left no writings of his own; virtually everything that we know of his beliefs comes from his pupil Plato. He was sentenced to death for impiety. Socrates is based on the Greek name "Sokrates", derived from the words "sos", which means "whole or unwounded", and "kratos", which means "power".
