Variant of Evandrus, the Latin form of the Greek name ΕυανδÏος (Euandros), derived from Greek ευ (eu) meaning "good" and Î±Î½Î·Ï (aner) meaning "man" (genitive ανδÏος). In Roman mythology Evander was an Arcadian hero of the Trojan War who founded the city of Pallantium near the spot where Rome was later built.
