What's in a name?

Lysistrata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lysistrata (Attic Greek: Λυσιστράτη Lysistratê, Doric Greek: Λυσιστράτα Lysistrata), loosely translated to "she who disbands armies", is a Greek comedy, written in 411 BC by Aristophanes.


If Lysistrata's name had a meaning, do you think that any other characters were named what they were for a reason?
