Origin:

Name Root:
ákhos lāós > Akhilleús
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Akhilleús (Ἀχιλλεύς),” composed of two elements: “ákhos ‎(ἄχος)” (distress, pain, ache) plus “lāós (λᾱός)” (people, people assembled). In turn, the name means “pain of the people.” Achilleus was a Greek hero of the Trojan War stories, son of Thetis and Peleus. Later legends, beginning with a poem by Statius in the 1st-century AD, state that Achilles’ body was invulnerable except for his heel. As he died because of a small wound on his heel, the term Achilles’ heel has come to mean one’s point of weakness.
