Meaning of Poseidon

Poseidon is a powerful and distinguished name for baby boys. It has its roots in Greek mythology, where Poseidon was the god of the sea and other waters. The name derives from the Greek word "poseidōn," meaning "husband" or "lord." In English, it is pronounced as poh-SY-dun (/poʊsˈaɪdn/). While Poseidon may not be among the most popular names in recent years, it has maintained a consistent presence on the charts in the United States. With a steady ranking between 3521 and 7499 over the past decade, Poseidon offers a unique and mythical choice for parents seeking a strong and distinctive name for their newborn son.
