The name Sokratis is the Greek form of the classical first name Socrates, which has its origins in ancient philosophy. It derives from the Ancient Greek words *sōtēr* (savior) and *agoras* (assembly or marketplace), and thus essentially means “the savior of the assembly” or “the protector of the community.” Although it is not among the common first names in Germany, it exudes a certain historical weight and intellectual depth.
Sokratis seems to embody someone who not only talks but truly listens – perhaps with a slight tendency to question why one has to get up so early in the first place. He often appears calm and deliberate, but at the right moment, he can turn the entire conversation upside down with a pointed question. He never lacks a wink, for he knows that life is taken too seriously if it is not viewed with a pinch of humor.
