AQUILES Meaning and Definition

1. Aquiles is a proper noun of Greek origin which refers to the renowned warrior Achilles in Greek mythology. According to legend, Aquiles was the son of the king Peleus and the sea goddess Thetis. He played a significant role in the Trojan War, a great conflict between the city of Troy and a coalition of Greek forces, as depicted in Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. Aquiles was known for his exceptional strength, bravery, and skill in battle.

   In Greek mythology, Aquiles was considered almost invincible, except for his heel, which was his only vulnerable spot. It is said that his mother dipped him in the River Styx to grant him immortality, but as she held him by the heel, it remained dry and therefore vulnerable. This vulnerability ultimately led to his demise, when he was struck by an arrow, shot by Paris, in his heel, known as the "Achilles heel."

   Due to his actions and legacy, the name "Aquiles" is often associated with strength, courage, and heroism. It has also become a popular given name in certain cultures, symbolizing warrior-like qualities and bravery.

Etymology of AQUILES

The name "Aquiles" is derived from the Greek name "Achilles" (Αχιλλευς), which has a complex etymology. According to Greek mythology, Achilles was a heroic figure and one of the greatest warriors in the Trojan War.

The Greek name "Achilles" is believed to have originated from the Hittite word "Aplu", which likely means "the glorious one" or "shining". The Hittite language was spoken in ancient Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and had significant influence on the development of Greek culture.

Over time, the Hittite word "Aplu" eventually entered the Greek language, evolving into "Akhilleus". This name subsequently passed into various other languages, including Latin, where it became "Achilles", and from Latin, it eventually made its way into Spanish as "Aquiles".
