Kallimakhosz

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Kallímachos (Καλλίμαχος),” composed of two elements: “kalós ‎(καλός)” (beautiful, lovely, virtuous, noble) plus “mákhomai ‎(μάχομαι)” (war, fight, battle, quarrel, wrangle, dispute). In turn, the name means “one who is virtuous in the battle, beautiful, glorious fighter, a noble war.” Kallímachos was a native of the Greek colony of Cyrene, Libya. He was a noted poet, critic and scholar at the Library of Alexandria and enjoyed the patronage of the Egyptian / Greek Pharaohs Ptolemy II Philadelphus and Ptolemy III Euergetes.
