A knight of the Round Table
In Arthurian legend, Escanor is the name of two distinct knights: Escanor le Grand and Escanor le Bel. The name's exact etymology is debated, though it likely has roots in Old French or Germanic elements. It has gained modern popularity through its use in Japanese media as a symbol of immense strength.
