Lysander combines Greek roots for "release" and "man," translating directly to "liberator" or "one who frees." The name was carried by a historical Spartan commander, and it tends to suggest someone who removes obstacles for others rather than simply overcoming their own.
He must also have a certain Epoch or Radix from whence to derive, first his greater judgment, secondly his lesser judgment, when he intends a serious discourse. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
