Today, it’s rarely given as a first name, appearing mostly in academic or philosophical contexts. The name carries a strong masculine identity and evokes a mood of intellectualism, independence, and a rebellious spirit. It’s a bold and memorable choice, though its uncommon nature may present challenges. Its historical weight and unique character make it a distinctive option for parents seeking a name with depth.
