About Tiresias

Also spelled as Teiresias, this is the name of a blind seer in Greek mythology, who was transformed into a woman for seven years, and blinded by Hera after becoming involved in an argument between her and Zeus. The figure notably appears in Sophocles's Oedipus Rex, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and in Homer's Odyssey.

The name, often given to seers and prophets, can mean "to see the constellations or heavens" or "seeing wonders and divine signs", giving it a starry and powerful feel.

With similar sounds to Tyson, Elias, Reese, and Ozias, the name has yet to rank in the US stats.

Pronounced tye-REE-see-us.
