Ulysses Name Details

Ulysses is derived from the Latin name 'Ulixes,' which in turn comes from the Greek name 'Odysseus.' In Greek mythology, Odysseus was the hero and main protagonist of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. He was known for his intelligence and cunning nature, as well as his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War. The name Ulysses became popular in English literature due to James Joyce's novel, Ulysses, published in 1922.
