looking for a saint

[kamikat]

Is there a comprehensive list of Greek saints on-line?

In my dad's family, the names alternate: father is Aristomenis Yorgos, son would be Yorgos Aristomenis. My dad had no boys to carry on this tradition. Both my sister and I wanted to carry it on for our sons, but both husband thought it was too ethnic. Now that I get to pick saints for my kids, it would be nice if my sons' saints could follow the tradition. Of course, St. George will work for one son. Does anyone know if there is a saint with any variation of the other name?

I don't know Greek, so I don't know how closely related these names actually are, but they look like they at least start the same. :D :sorry:

Anyway, here's what I found:

Apostle Aristarchus of the Seventy (http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsViewer.asp?SID=4&ID=1&FSID=100080)
January 4
"aristos" (best) "arche" (origin, source)

Martyr Aristocles the Presbyter of Cyprus (http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsViewer.asp?SID=4&ID=1&FSID=101765)
June 20
"aristos" (best) "kleos" (glory)

Martyr Aristion the Bishop of Alexandria (http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsViewer.asp?SID=4&ID=1&FSID=102483)
September 3
"aristos" (best)

[Greg the byzantine]

yiorgos is the Greek form for George.

I doubt you will find a saint aristomenis (Sounds like a historical name) How about saint Artemios :

they could call him Aris or possibly Arty

Thanks for the correction., Greg.
When my grandfather started working for the State dept, he had everything changed to English. His name went from Yiogos Aristomenis to George Aris and the family last name went from Haralenpopolos to what my maiden name is. I knew how his name was prounonced, but never saw it written.
