Silas is a possible variant of the Roman name Sylvan, meaning "wood" or "forest," or, some theorize, of the Hebrew name Saul. This classic nickname has seen use as a unisex name before, but it's commonly used as a boy's name. The name means "peace ruler," which doesn't exactly describe Freddy Krueger, whose capacity for violence and wickedness has left all who have dared to watch the films terrified for life. Freddyįreddy, short for Frederick, is the name of the villain in the horror flick Nightmare on Elm Street. This name is brought to you by the Harry Potter fantasy novel series, which features Draco Malfoy, a school rival of Harry. It's supposedly derived from the Latin word for "dragon," but "drac" also means "devil" in Romanian. Dracoĭraco sounds a bit like Dracula, for good reason. This name was also borne by several Christian martyrs. Damienĭamien comes from a Greek word meaning "to tame." It also has an irreparable association with the horror film The Omen, whose main character, a boy named Damien Thorn, is the son of Satan. Fun fact: The expression "my brother's keeper" comes from the story of Cain and Abel. Subsequently, Cain was cursed to become a restless wanderer of the earth for eternity. He is said to have killed his brother Abel in a twisted tale of sibling rivalry, thus becoming the first human to commit murder. Cain is a character from the Bible – the firstborn son of Adam.
