Name Root:
képhale > Képhalos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “képhale (κέφαλη) Képhalos (Κέφαλος),” meaning “head.” Képhalos is a king of Phocis who accidentally killed his own wife. Képhalos is an Ancient Greek name, used both for the hero-figure in Greek mythology and carried as a theophoric name by historical persons. The word kephale is Greek for “head,” perhaps used here because Cephalus was the founding of a great family that includes Odysseus. He is mainly considered to be the son of Deioneo and Diomedea, though minor versions have him as the son of Hermes and Herse or King Pandion of Athens.
