PHILANDER

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English (Archaic)

From the Greek name Φιλανδρος (Philandros) meaning "friend of man" from Greek φιλος (philos) "friend" and ανδρος (andros) "of a man". In the 18th century this was coined as a word meaning "to womanize", and the name subsequently dropped out of use.
