History and Origin
Hercules is a masculine given name of Greek origin in its English variant. It is the Latinized form of Heracles, the famous Greek mythological hero. The name comes from Ἡρακλῆς (Hēraklḗs), composed of Ἥρα (Hera, Greek goddess wife of Zeus) and κλῆς (glory), so it means "glory of Hera".
Latin form of the name of the Greek mythological hero Herakles, whose name means ‘glory of Hera’. He was the son of Zeus, king of the gods, by Alcmene, a mortal woman. In many versions of the legend, despite the meaning of the name, Hera, chief goddess in the Greek pantheon and wife of Zeus, is portrayed as the implacable enemy of Hercules, the child of her unfaithful husband. Hercules was noted for his exceptional physical strength; according to the myth, he was set a daunting series of twelve labours, and after successfully completing them he was made a god. The name has occasionally been used in the English-speaking world, under European influence. In the Highlands of Scotland it has been used as an Anglicized form of the rare Gaelic name Athairne.
