📖 Acerca de Lancelot
Lancelot es un nombre masculino de origen francés antiguo, inmortalizado por las leyendas artúricas. Chrétien de Troyes lo introdujo en el siglo XII como el más grande caballero de la Mesa Redonda del rey Arturo, invencible en combate pero perdido por su amor prohibido a la reina Ginebra. Su etimología probablemente se remonta a una raíz del francés antiguo que significa 'sirviente' o 'paje,' con el sufijo diminutivo '-ot.' Hoy en día, Lancelot evoca el idealismo caballeresco y la tragedia romántica, y su forma abreviada Lance goza de mayor uso en los países anglosajones.
