Herakles

A name befitting a mighty hero, Herakles is a masculine appellation of Greek origin. Famously borne by the demigod and son of Zeus also known as Hercules, Herakles means “glory of Hera.” It’s said that this name was created by Zeus to appease his wife, Hera, after he had a son with Alcmene. Hera, who was seeking revenge on Zeus, decided to make life very difficult for Herakles. One famous collection of stories is The 12 Labors of Herakles, in which the Delphic Oracle commands the hero to do 12 tasks for King Eurystheus of Mycenae. These were no easy feats, and despite Hera’s frequent interference, Herakles mostly thrived from one adventure to the next. Choosing Herakles for your little warrior is certain to leave quite a memorable impression, and there’s no denying its iconic spirit.
