Pollux

Pollux is a name of ancient Greek origin, famously associated with Greek mythology. He was one of the Dioscuri, twin brothers born to Leda, with Castor being his mortal brother and Pollux being immortal, fathered by Zeus. They were revered as patrons of sailors and were often depicted as horsemen. The constellation Gemini is named after them.

The name's usage has been primarily in classical contexts and among those with an interest in mythology. While not a common given name in modern times, its strong mythological ties give it a distinctive and historical character. It has seen occasional use, particularly in literature and astronomy, where one of the brightest stars in the constellation Gemini is named Pollux.
