Meaning & Origin of Apollos
Meaning: Belonging to/associated with the god Apollo.
Origin: Ancient Greek.
A common claim: Apollos means 'of Apollo' or 'destroyer.' Actually: 'Destroyer' confuses this with a disputed folk-link for the god Apollo's own name (to the Greek verb apollymi, 'to destroy') — that etymology is contested even for Apollo, and isn't established for the name Apollos, which more simply denotes 'belonging to Apollo.'
