Philander Meaning

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