Meaning & Origin of Ulysse
Origin: Latin Ulysses (Roman form of Greek Odysseus); ultimate root uncertain, possibly pre-Greek.
A common claim: Ulysse is often said to mean 'wrathful'. Actually: This is an ancient folk etymology from the Odyssey itself (linking the name to Greek odyssomai, 'to be wrathful toward'), not a scholarly consensus.
