Morpheus, derived from Greek mythology, is an intriguing and unique given name. It originates from the Greek word 'morphē', meaning form or shape, and it's often associated with Morpheus, the god of dreams in ancient Greek mythology. In Homer's "Odyssey", Morpheus is a son of Hypnos (the god of sleep), who takes on human forms to appear in people's dreams. The name gained significant popularity due to its use in the 1999 film "The Matrix," where Morpheus is portrayed as a character who offers guidance and insight, reflecting the god's role in inspiring dreams and visions.
"It's unusual that the name Morpheus had five births each year for a decade before suddenly having six in the last year."
