Ixion Name meanings & History

Ixion was a figure in Greek mythology who was punished by Zeus for attempting to seduce his wife Hera. He was bound to a burning wheel for eternity. The name Ixion means "mover" or "wheel". Probably derived from the Greek noun ἰξός (ixos), which can mean "mistletoe" as well as "birdlime". In Greek mythology, Ixion was king of the Lapiths (the most ancient tribe of Thessaly) and a son of Ares or Antion or the notorious evildoer Phlegyas. Ixion is an uncommon name and is not frequently used. It could make a unique, and striking choice for parents looking for a name that is outside of the mainstream.
