Pelopidas - Pelops was the son of Tantalus, and the Grandfather of Agammemnon, I think Pelopida would mean from the house of Pelops or something similar.

Serapion = According to my latin dictionary, Serapis was an Egyptian God, may be Serapion is a name given to a follower or believer, as Serapeum is the name of the aforementioned God's temple.
