Bartimaeus. It’s epic, heroic, and a powerful-sounding name. It mixes ancient with new. For Bart is a somewhat common modern name, whereas the suffix “maeus” has been used since ancient Egypt. The “i” is simply there to bring the two together, like a bridge connecting 2 peices of land.
That is my analysis, but the actual name is from a book series called The Bartimaeus Trilogy. Bartimaeus is a genie who overcomes many obstacles, and has a store of 5000 years of knowledge, as well as a store of smart comments. The books are great, and if anyone here likes Harry Potter, i recomend The Bartimaeus Trilogy. The first book is called The Amulet of Samarkand, and is, in my opinion, the best of the 3.
Bartimaeus was also the name of a blind man in the Bible, though i can’t remember exactly where to find it in the Bible. Bartimaeus called out to Jesus as he walked by with a crowd following him, and Jesus welcomed him.
Behold, the historical and almighty Bartimaeus, serpant of silver plumes. (Bart-i-may-us)
