Re: The name 'Aristide' What does it mean?
You rang?
Aristides is indeed an (ancient) Greek name which is still quite popular in my neck of the woods. It is derived from the word "ariston", meaning "excellent" or "optimum". Related modern-use words include "Aristocracy" ("rule of the best") and "Aristocats" ("supreme animated felines").
