These names come from many sources, from kings and emperors to normal people who become famous by being in the right place at the right time, or sometimes the wrong place at the wrong time. If a historical name is no longer used, there are many reasons why it might have dropped out of usage.
The name may sound old-fashioned, or it may have had special significance in a historical society but lost its meaning to the modern world. Some names are no longer used because they have picked up negative connotations based on the historical event in which they became famous.
