Meaning & Origin
Any of the race of giant gods in Greek mythology that preceded and was overthrown by the Olympian gods.
Titan is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek Titan, the name of the race of powerful primordial deities in Greek mythology who preceded the Olympian gods. The Titans were giants of enormous power — Cronus, Prometheus, Atlas — whose stories form the foundation of Greek cosmogony.
Titan carries unmistakable associations of immense scale, power, and mythological grandeur. It has grown in the United States as a bold, aspirational name that announces itself without ambiguity — a name that sets maximum expectations. It fits alongside names like Atlas, Zeus, and Orion in the modern trend of mythological names.
