Biography[edit]
It is said that, Alexander Chen-Tam (Greek: Αλεξάντερ Τσεν-Ταμ) was born in 1832 and was said to have 190 years.
Name Meaning[edit]
Alexander[edit]
From the Latin form of the Greek name Alexandros, from alexein ‘to defend’ + anēr ‘man, warrior’ (genitive andros). The name became extremely popular in the post-classical period, and was borne by several individuals in the New Testament and some early Christian saints. Its use as a common given name throughout Europe, however, derives largely from the fame of Alexander the Great , King of Macedon ( 356–323 bc ), around whom a large body of popular legend grew up in late antiquity, much of which came to be embodied in the medieval ‘Alexander romances’.
