Ulyssis is of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Ulysses, which was believed to be derived from the Greek hero Odysseus. It means 'wrathful' or 'angry', likely referring to the fierce nature associated with the mythological figure. The name gained popularity in the English-speaking world during the 19th century, partly due to its use by authors such as James Joyce in his novel 'Ulysses'. It is a unique and distinctive name, often used as an alternative to the more common Ulysses or Luke.
"Ulyssis saw its peak popularity with five newborns in 2011."
