Meaning & History

This name was invented by the English mystic poet William Blake, who intended it to be a pun on your reason and perhaps also based it on Greek horizein (root of the English word horizon) meaning "bound, limit, divide, separate". In Blake's mythopoeia Urizen was the personification of conventional reason and law, corresponding to the Gnostic demiurge (see Demiurgos).
