Meaning: Wrathful

Literary buffs will love the idea of giving baby a name like Ulyses! A respelling of Ulysses, this name means “wrathful,” and has Latin and Greek origins. While this name might have one less letter, it has no less charm! Ulyses is also a derivation of the Greek name Odysseus and feels academic, mysterious, and scholarly. Gifting baby a name like this could also be a great nod to Irish author James Joyce’s epic novel Ulysses.
