History & Origin

Ulysee is a phonetic respelling of Ulysses, the Roman name for the Greek voyager Odysseus. The classical form gained American footing through General Ulysses S. Grant, and this trimmed variant surfaced for boys only rarely, around 1939.

It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at most, and it had faded by the nineteen-eighties. A boy named Ulysee then would be in his late eighties today. The name reads as a heritage nod to a grand classical original rather than a modern trend.

Did you know? Behind Ulysee stands Ulysses, the Latin form of Odysseus and the name of the Civil War general and president Ulysses S. Grant, which kept the classical name in American use.
