Ulises is the Spanish form of Ulysses, the Latin name (Ulixes) for the Greek hero Odysseus. Its etymology is debated, often linked to Greek odyssasthai/odyssomai meaning 'to be angry' or 'to hate,' yielding senses like 'wrathful' or 'hated'; by association it also evokes cunning and endurance through Homer's Odyssey.

Documented in early modern Spain, Ulises gained broader use across Latin America and today is well established in Mexico, Argentina, and among U.S. Hispanic families. Variants and cognates include Portuguese Ulisses, Italian Ulisse, French Ulysse, English Ulysses, and Greek Odysseus; a regional spelling Ulices also occurs in Spanish, with diminutives Uli and Uly. Cultural touchpoints with the cognate Ulysses, such as U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant and James Joyce's novel, have kept the name visible, lending it an adventurous, literary aura.
