Eulises
A boy's name of Greek origin with 314 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
If you're considering Eulises, you're looking at a name that fewer than 314 families have ever chosen in the U.S. That kind of rarity is intentional — it signals that the name was chosen for its sound, its personal meaning, or a family connection rather than a trend.
The sharp, distinct ending gives Eulises a stately quality that carries weight in formal contexts while staying approachable.
Eulises is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Eulises is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, a Spanish variant of Ulises — the Spanish form of Ulysses/Odysseus, from the Greek Odysseus, meaning 'wrathful' or possibly 'hated' — though in tradition he is known as the cunning hero of Homer's Odyssey, the ten-year journey home from Troy.
Eulises carries the epic adventure of one of literature's greatest heroes — the man of a thousand tricks whose wit overcame every obstacle. In Spanish-speaking communities, Ulises and its variants honor the hero's intelligence and perseverance. A name that promises an epic life story.
