User-submitted Reference

The Greek forename Pythagoras means 'Delphi's proclaimer' or 'Delphi's speaker'. The first to be forenamed Pythagoras was philosopher + polymath Pythagoras, from Ancient Greece. Pythagoras was born in 570 BCE in the Greek island of Samos and died in 495 BCE in Italy. He is known for his quotes and also his trigonometric theorem (c^2 = a^2 + b^2). He contributed so much to geometry, especially in triangles. His 7 main interests were ethics, mathematics, metaphysics, music, mysticism, politics and religion. His 7 attributed ideas were the 5 climatic zones, the 5 regular solids, direct and inverse proportion, the Pythagorean theorem, the Pythagorean tuning, the earth's sphericity and vegetarianism. All these that Ancient Greek Pythagoras discovered made Pythagoras a Greek given name. In Greece, this forename is not as frequent as forenames like Ioannis (John) and Georgios (George).
