Peripatetics
Peripatetic (περιπατητικός) is the name given to followers of Aristotle, the Greek philosopher. The term means "the ones walking about". According the common account, the sect was called this from the fact that Aristotle walked about as he discoursed with his students. An alternative account is that the name derives from the public walk in the Lyceum which Aristotle and his disciples frequently took.
