Really cool name!

This name sounds really cool, especially considering the name's history and the association with the unused 13th zodiac sign. Although I don't think it would work as a person's name...

Peculiar. The supposed 13th zodiac sign, which has not been officially used by all astrologers, is much more unusable than Aries. But it could work in a story working with the zodiac.

Latinized form of Ὀφιοῦχος (Ophiouchos), which is sometimes also transcribed as Ophioukhos. [noted -ed]
The first element of that name is derived from Greek ὄφις (ophis) meaning "serpent, snake". The second element is derived from the Greek verb ὀχέω (ocheo) meaning "to bear, to carry, to hold fast, to sustain", which is closely related to the Greek verb ἔχω (echo) meaning "to have, to hold, to possess". Also compare the Greek noun ὄχος (ochos) meaning "carriage, chariot, wagon". Another Greek noun that is etymologically related is ὀχή (oche) meaning "prop, support" as well as "nourishment, food".
