Origin:Greek
Meaning:Goat; Waves
The masculine name Aegeus could remind you of Greek legends you've encountered, ocean views you dream about, and the sound of waves crashing you hear in your heart. This moniker was first borne by Aegeus, the king of Athens, the father of Theseus, and the inspiration for the title of Greece's Aegean Sea. His name possibly stems from aix, a Greek word meaning "goat," or αἶγες, another word meaning "waves," so don't be surprised if your tiny tot enjoys playing on land and in the water! Perhaps one day, you and sweet Aegeus will swim together in their namesake sea, in the place where their moniker originated.
