Hephaestus

For a crafty and confident little one, the masculine name Hephaestus is an exquisite choice. The Greek god of fire, metalwork, and stonemasonry, Hephaestus was worshipped by those who used fire to manufacture new and useful objects. In Homer's Odyssey, Hephaestus was married to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, though the pair were notoriously poorly-suited. While mysterious in origin, Hephaestus is said to be the Latinized form of Hephaistos, a Greek title that may arise from the same roots as Phaistos, the name of a city in the Bronze Age Minoan civilization. For what it lacks in exact meaning, Hephaestus is rich in power and story, allowing your little one to create their own unique path forward.
