Aeacides is Latin in Origin.

Aeacides is the Latinized form of Ancient Greek Αἰακίδης (Aiakídēs), a patronymic built on Αἰακός (Aiakós), Aeacus, with the suffix -ίδης, son or descendant of. Its literal sense is descendant of Aeacus. The underlying name Aeacus belongs to Greek myth and has no secure Indo-European etymology; the compound’s meaning, however, is transparent within Greek naming morphology.

In Greek heroic genealogy, Aeacides could identify members of the Aeacid line, especially Achilles and the descendants of Aeacus through Peleus and Telamon. As a personal name it is best known from Aeacides of Epirus, the fourth-century BC Molossian king and father of Pyrrhus I. The royal house of Epirus claimed Aeacid ancestry, linking local dynastic legitimacy with pan-Hellenic myth. English Aeacides reflects Latin spelling; closer transliterations include Aiakides and Aiacides. The name is rare outside classical history and mythological reference.
