This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Prāxitélēs (Πρᾱξῐτέλης),” composed of two elements: “prā́ssō (πρᾱ́σσω) práxis (πρᾶξις)” (active, to do or act) plus “télos (τέλος)” (completion, accomplishment, fulfillment, perfection, consummation, end, end of life, death). In turn, the name means “he who finishes his works.” Praxiteles of Athens, the son of Cephisodotus, the Elder, was the most renowned of the Attic sculptors of the 4th-century BC.
