Name Root:
polús phēmí > Polúphēmos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Polúphēmos ‎(Πολύφημος),” composed of two elements: “polús ‎(πολῠ́ς)” (large, great, a lot of, much, wide, large) plus “phēmí ‎(φημί)” (speak, say, agree, affirm, assert). In turn, the name means “the one who talks a lot, the man of many words.” Polyphemus is the gigantic one-eyed son of Poseidon and Thoosa in Greek mythology, one of the cyclopes. He plays a pivotal role in homer’s odyssey. In Homer’s epic, Odysseus lands on the island of the Cyclops during his journey home from the Trojan War and, together with some of his men, enters a cave filled with provisions. When the giant Polyphemus returns with his flocks, he blocks the entrance with a large stone and, mocking the custom of hospitality, eats two men. The next morning, the giant kills and eats two more and leaves the cave to graze his sheep.
