Answer:

a.True

Step-by-step explanation:

Ancient Greek names were patronymic, it means the name of a Greek were formed based on his/her father's name, for example, Stevenson (son of Steven) is a patronymic name in English. Additionally, the country/city of origin was also added to the full name. We can say they followed the next pattern:

Personal or given name + father’s name + name that indicates the origin city or particular family.
