The story behind the name
Hector is a boy’s name of Greek origin. From the original spelling “Hektor,” the title means “steadfast,” or holdfast. In Greek mythology, Hector was a hero of the Trojan War revered for his bravery and honor; it was also the name of the knight who raised King Arthur. With this mighty background to his name, Hector will be ready to take on any of life’s battles. In modern times, Hector is one of the most popular boys' names in Spanish-speaking communities. Someone who knows how to hold fast, at least when it comes to baseballs, is Héctor Sánchez, a catcher for the San Diego Padres.
