It kind of looks Greek to me and reminds me of the god Aeolus. How is it pronounced? That will give us a better hint on where it comes from.

With that pronunciation, it's almost certainly a respelling of Aeolus. Aeolus itself is quite often spelled as Eolus in English speaking countries. There is a mountain in Colorado called Mount Eolus named after the Greek god of winds:http://www.durango.travel/activities/durango-14ers.htm
