Ulisses Origin and Meaning

The name Ulisses is a boy's name of French origin.

Ulisses is a masculine name that represents the Latin and Portuguese variation of Ulysses, which derives from the Greek name Odysseus. In Greek mythology, Odysseus was the legendary king of Ithaca known for his intelligence, cunning, and the epic journey home after the Trojan War as told in Homer's 'Odyssey.' The name Ulisses remains particularly popular in Brazil and Portugal, while also appearing in other Portuguese and Spanish-speaking countries. It carries connotations of wisdom, adventure, and resilience. The double 's' spelling distinguishes it from the more common Ulises (Spanish) or Ulysses (English) variants, giving it a slightly more distinctive quality.
