This reminded me of the “Virgin Birth” of the Messiah. Neo’s real name is Thomas Anderson. Anderson in Greek roughly translates to “son of man”. Another symbol that alludes to Christianity is the predicted coming of Neo which is very similar to that of Jesus, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin
