What is the origin of Halcyon?
Halcyon's language of origin is Old Greek and it is used predominantly in English. The name Halcyon means 'kingfisher; calm or tranquil; happy or carefree'. Derived from alkyon 'kingfisher' ; halkyon 'kingfisher' ; hals 'sea'. Halcyon is a genus of kingfisher birds; the name thus means 'kingfisher'. Etymologically, the name is Latinized from Halkyone (Greek), which is itself a variant of 'Alkyone'. The root elements are the Greek 'alkyon' and 'halkyon', with the 'h' added by mythological associations. Ovid wrote in Roman mythology that baby name Alcyone's father Aeolus, the god of the winds, held back the storms whenever Alcyone, as a kingfisher, laid her eggs on the beach. This gave rise to the term 'halcyon days', the mythical seven days in winter when storms do not occur. The word 'halcyon' has thus been interpreted to mean 'calm or tranquil', or 'happy or carefree'.
