Aquilles Origin and Meaning

The name Aquilles is a boy's name.

Aquilles is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Achilles, the legendary Greek hero of Homer's Iliad. The spelling with 'Aqu-' likely draws connection to Latin 'aqua' meaning water, creating a blend of Greek mythology and Latin elements. This variation is quite rare compared to the traditional Achilles. The name carries powerful associations with strength, bravery, and legendary status, though also with vulnerability (the 'Achilles heel'). As a contemporary choice, Aquilles offers parents a name with classical roots but a distinctive spelling. It presents a strong, mythological option that maintains recognition while standing apart from more common classical names.
