Archippe
Archippe is a first name of Greek origin coming from Arke' hypos which means literally “riding” or then “that which holds the head of cavalry”.
This first name is very seldom used nowadays. Most famous of the people having carried this first name is undoubtedly the survivor of the school pythagorician Archippe de Tarente which arrived, according to Diogène, to flee of the Massacre of Milon.
Diogene also specifies that this first name was given up by the use because of its hybrid character. It was carried in ancient Greece as much by men that women.
