<p>Aegeus is a masculine name with deep roots in Greek mythology. It belonged to the legendary king of Athens who was the father of the hero Theseus. The name likely derives from the Greek word 'aix' meaning 'goat' or possibly from 'aigialos' meaning 'sea shore.' In mythology, King Aegeus tragically threw himself into the sea (later named the Aegean Sea after him) when he believed his son had died. This name carries strong classical associations and projects an air of dignity and ancient wisdom. While never common in modern usage, Aegeus appeals to parents with an appreciation for mythology and classical history. The name offers the rare combination of historical weight, distinctive sound, and a connection to one of Western civilization's foundational cultural traditions.</p>
