Odyssefs is Greek in Origin.

A learned Greek variant of Odysseus, Odyssefs renders the ancient form Οδυσσεύς in modern pronunciation (-efs), distinct from the demotic Οδυσσέας (Odysseas). The name belongs to the crafty king of Ithaca in Greek myth, central to Homer’s Odyssey, and passed into Latin as Ulysses. Odyssefs surfaces in puristic Greek (Katharevousa) texts and some 19th–20th‑century civil records, but as a given name it remains rare.

Etymology is debated: many derive it from Greek odyssomai “to be wroth, to hate,” yielding senses like “wrathful” or “one who is hated,” while others propose a pre‑Greek origin. Related forms include Odysseus (English), Odysseas (Greek), Ulysses (English/Latin), Ulisse (Italian), Ulises (Spanish), Ulisses (Portuguese), and Ulise (Romanian). Modern Greek usage overwhelmingly prefers Odysseas, with Odyssefs seen chiefly in literary, formal, or historicist contexts.
