Greece

Lord Byron (George Gordon Byron), the half-Scottish poet, was the most famous Briton in the world in 1824, the year the Greeks asked him for help in their war of independence against the Turks. Byron, who had visited Greece previously and was enchanted by it, arrived with nine servants, a dozen small cannon, and colorful military uniforms.

When Byron died of fever he became a mythical figure, and his is one of the few foreign names bestowed upon Greek children.90
