Thinking about the name
Aleister
Greek origin
“The Scottish and English form of the Greek Alexander, meaning 'defender of the people,' historically borne by Scottish kings and literary figures. This masculine variant carries a distinctly Celtic and somewhat esoteric quality, famously associated with occultist Aleister Crowley. It appeals to parents seeking something distinguished and unconventional.”
