Deucalion

A daring choice with a sweet and sea-inspired meaning, Deucalion appears in Greek mythology multiple times. Most noteworthy perhaps are Deucalion the son of Prometheus, who, along with his wife Pyrrha, survives a great flood sent by Zeus, and Deucalion the soldier, killed by Achilles to avenge Patroclus.

Some sources suggest the name is a blending of the elements deukos meaning "sweet, sweet wine" and haliéus meaning "sailor, fisherman", while others suggest it stems from deuo meaning "drenched, wet" — both of which could work in regards to the mythology.

The name has appeared sporadically in the US stats since 2014, given to a very small handful of boys.

Pronounced doo-KAL-yun.

As of October 2026, Deucalion ranked #10115 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #9897 in 2014.
