Meaning & History

Derived from Greek συλεύς (syleus) meaning "privateer", which is ultimately derived from Greek συλάω (sylao) meaning "to plunder, to rob, to strip (off)". Also compare Greek σύλη (syle), a term used to refer to the right of seizing a ship. In Greek mythology, Syleus was a Lydian who was killed by Heracles for his nefarious deeds.
