Helius is a name of ancient origin, derived from the Greek word 'helios', meaning 'sun'. It was borne by several figures in Greek mythology, most notably Helios himself, the Titan god of the sun. This name gained popularity during the Roman Empire, where it was often used as a personal name or a family name. Today, Helius remains a unique and distinctive choice for a first name, evoking images of light, warmth, and radiance.
Helius had 5 babies born with this name in 2013, making it a unique choice that year but not yet popular enough to be among the most common names.
