Submitted Name Revision 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).
