A Note on Monastic Names
Most of the names listed below are used almost exclusively by monks, but not all monks used obscure names. A few are popular either as a secular or as a monastic name. It is the practice of those assuming the monastic habit to alter one's name as well as one's lifestyle. Typically, the monastic name assumed started with the same letter as the person's secular given name. The King Andronikos Palaiologos, for example, became the monk Antony. It should also be noted that, entering a monastery was not considered a permanent vocational choice. In fact, some enter and leave monastic life with regularity. Upon leaving, the individual might re-assume his secular name, or keep his monastic name. The names below are the most popular names with monks. In large monastaries, since monks often go by first names, monks have appellations (like their goblin monk brothers always do.) Common appelations for monks include faithful, calm, reflective, thoughtful, longbeard, etc.

Alexandros, Alexios, Andreas, Andronikos, Bardas, Bartolomaios, Basil, Basileios, Christophoros, Demetrios, Gabriel, Gerasimos, Georgios, Gregoras, Iakobos, Ioannes, Ionnikios, Isaakios, Isaias, Konstantinos, Leo, Leon, Leontios, Makarios, Manuel, Markos. Meletios, Nikodemos, Nikolaos, Nikophoros, Niphon, Paulus, Pantoleon, Petros, Philippos, Romanos, Sabas, Stephanos, Theodoulos, Theodoros, Theophylaktos, Thomas
