Hades First Name Meaning

Hades is a male name of Greek origin that means "Sightless." In Greek mythology, Hades is the god of the dead and the king of the underworld. His name is derived from the ancient Greek word "ᾍδης," meaning "the unseen one." Hades was the eldest son of Cronus and Rhea and, alongside his brothers Zeus and Poseidon, played a crucial role in the defeat of the Titans. He is typically depicted holding a bident and wearing a helm, with Cerberus, the three-headed guard-dog of the underworld, at his side. Hades is also associated with the Roman god Pluto, representing wealth and riches, due to the belief that precious minerals come from beneath the earth. In artistic representations, Hades is often portrayed as a stately figure on an ebony throne, holding a bident and a key, symbolizing his control over the underworld and the souls of the dead.
