Ikaros

Ikaros is a masculine name derived from Greek mythology, an alternate spelling of Icarus, the figure who flew too close to the sun with wings made by his father Daedalus. This rare name carries profound mythological significance and symbolism related to ambition, freedom, and the consequences of hubris. Though uncommon in everyday usage, Ikaros appeals to parents with an appreciation for classical mythology and Greek heritage. The name has a dramatic, distinctive quality with its strong consonants and vowel sounds. While the tragic ending of the mythological Icarus might give some pause, others are drawn to the name's powerful evocation of flight, aspiration, and the human desire to transcend limitations.

Pronounced IK-ah-rahs.
