Meaning & origin
Eulises, the Spanish form of the Greek name Odysseus, has been in steady but minimal use in the United States since its first recorded appearance in 1984. It reached its peak in 1999, though it has never been a common choice. Currently ranking at 12,008, it is given to roughly 1 in every 341,615 baby boys, reflecting its rarity. The name has remained stable in recent years, neither surging nor declining sharply. Its literary and mythological connections give it a distinct, classical flavor that appeals to parents seeking a name with deep historical roots but contemporary usage.
Eulises is the Spanish form of the Greek name Odysseus, the hero of Homer's 'Odyssey'. The original Greek name is of uncertain etymology, often linked to 'odyssomai' meaning 'to be angry' or 'hate'. The name has been used in Spanish-speaking countries as a given name, though it remains uncommon.
