Origin:Greek
Meaning:The one who reaches the sky
Teach baby that the sky is the limit with the name Ikarus. Derived from the classic Greek name Icarus, referencing the Greek mythological god of the same name, this respelling means “the one who reaches the sky.” As the story goes, Icarus flew too close to the sun with wings made from feathers, thread, and beeswax, and they melted, causing Icarus to plunge into the sea and drown. This myth brought about the popular idiom of “flying too close to the sun.” But, your baby Ikarus is sure to find inspiration in this tale and dream as high as they can, learning when to employ both ambition and restraint!
