Phor is an ancient Greek masculine given name, derived from the word 'phos', which means light. It's pronounced /fɔːr/. This name was borne by a 4th-century saint and martyr who was tortured and killed for his Christian faith during the reign of Diocletian. St. Phor was venerated as a patron saint of Thebes, where he was said to have performed many miracles after his death. The name has been used sparingly throughout history but has not gained widespread popularity in recent times.
"Phor is gaining popularity with a steady increase in babies named Phor from 8 in 2019 to a peak of 14 in 2021. However, there's been a dip since then, with only 6 and 9 births respectively in 2022 and 2023. Overall, 49 children have been named Phor annually between 2019 and 2023."
