They think it is Spanish, because it is Spanish.
Hector (/ˈhɛktər/) is an English, French, Scottish, and Spanish given name. The name is derived from the Greek name of Hektor.

- umanwizard 6y agoIt’s English in the sense that it’s a common name in England and other English-speaking cultures. Just like “them” is an English word despite originally coming from Norse.
