Comments for the name Odysseus

Comments for ODYSSEUS:

I thought it might be from the Greek hodos meaning road, and Zeus, the master god, so it meant that he was the king of the journey, in a way.

"Odyssey" actually means "story of Odysseus", so the name Odysseus cannot mean "odyssey."

It may mean "wrathful". And one can see it at the end of the Odyssey.

It means "sorrow" or "grief" in Greek, but it has come to mean a journey, from the epic obviously.

I don't like this name, but it has an interesting meaning.

I like the sound of Odysseus, but, because of the Greek hero, this name is a bit much to bear. Plus, the connotation with the aforementioned hero is a bit strong.

Could also be based on the actual word "odyssey".
