form of the name of the Greek epic poet Homēros, now regularly used as a given name in the United States ( compare Virgil ), where it has been immortalized by the cartoon character Homer Simpson in the television series The Simpsons. Many theories have been put forward to explain the origin of the name of the poet, but none is conclusive. It is identical in form with the Greek vocabulary word homēros ‘hostage’.
