Mobius
mo-bee-us
Origin:German
Meaning:Son of Talmai; Son of furrows
Mobius is a German masculine name of Aramaic origin meaning "son of Talmai" or “son of furrows.” This longstanding moniker is a diminutive of Bartholomäus, which is a variant of the Greek and Aramaic Bartholomew. Mobius has an almost otherworldly appeal to it, sounding similar to Morpheus and even lending itself to the Möbius strip from the mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius. Nowadays, Mobius is quite recognizable as a character in Disney's Loki, thanks to Owen Wilson’s portrayal. This character is loved for his intelligence, laid-back nature, and the rare occasions he expresses his emotions, so the name Mobius can be a sentimental choice for fans of the MCU.
