Icaros is Greek in Origin.
Icaros is a modern rendering of the Greek mythic name Ἴκαρος (Íkaros), combining the Greek -os ending with the Latinized c of Icarus. The etymology is uncertain, probably pre-Greek; the legend of Daedalus’s son has attached connotations of bold ambition, flight, and tragic hubris. The Aegean island Ikaria is named for the figure, reinforcing maritime and solar imagery.
As a given name, Icaros appears in Greece and among international name enthusiasts, while Icarus occurs in English. Related forms include the fully Hellenic Ikaros, Romance Ícaro (Spanish, Portuguese) and Icaro (Italian), German Ikarus, and the concise Slavic Ikar. Use is sporadic but recognizable in art, literature, and modern registries, especially Brazil for Ícaro. Not to be confused with Ikarios/Icarius, a separate Greek name, or with Spanish plural ícaros (shamanic songs).
