Overseer or guardian
Derived from the Greek word 'episkopos', which transitioned through Latin and Old English to become an occupational surname for someone who worked in a bishop's household or played the role in a play. As a first name, it carries a sense of authority and spiritual leadership. It has gained modern appeal as part of the trend for using occupational surnames as given names.
