Euclides is a boy's name of Greek origin. It combines the elements eu, meaning "well," and klês, meaning "fame," and translates to "renowned" or "glorious." The most important thing to know about this name is its relation to Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician. This inventor of geometry may be long gone, but his contributions to planet Earth are profound and infinite, like his theorem about prime numbers! Thanks to this genius, we can build bridges, map the stars, and animate all 70 feet of Rapunzel's golden locks. Plus, his life's work will forever befuddle 10th graders and parents alike. As for your darling Euclides, they'll be a total brain. Beware because they may use their superpowers to plot their escape from their crib.
