Galaktion and its meaning
Galaktion M – milky-white (in ancient Greek Galaktion was a type of bread made with milk)
I study the Life of Saint GALAKTION, who is the first bearer of the name. I want to know, where you took the information about the "ancient Greek" meaning of the name from.It is important for a scientific research. I am Classicist and could not find this information in the sources available. Is it folk tradition?
my e-mail is satissuperque@mail.ru
I am Braginskaya Nina, Russian professor of Classics
