Meaning & History

Means "precursor, forerunner" in Greek, literally "running before, going in advance" from πρό (pro) "before, in front of" and δρόμος (dromos) "a course, running". It is taken from the title of Saint John the Baptist, Ιωάννης ο Πρόδρομος (Ioannis o Prodromos); in Eastern Christianity, John is commonly referred to as the forerunner of Jesus, since John announces Jesus' coming.
