Meanings

Homer is both a masculine given name and a surname. The ancient Greek poet Homer is perhaps the best known person of this name.

Traditional name of the supposed author of the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," from Latin Homerus, from Greek Homeros. It is identical to Greek homeros "a hostage," said to also mean in dialects "blind" (the connecting notion is "going with a companion"). But the name also has been otherwise explained.

Pledge or hostage, security.
