Helia

The meaning of Helia is ‘sun’ or ‘sunshine.' It is a name typically given to girls and is of Greek origin. The name is derived from the name Helios who in Greek mythology is the Titan god of the sun. Helia is believed to be a feminine version of the name. Helios was a handsome man who roamed the skies on a golden chariot led by four stallions. The name Helia is allegedly the name of one of his daughters. His children were collectively called ‘children of the sun’. He is also described as the brother of Eos, goddess of the sun, and Selene, goddess of the moon. According to legend, his son, Phaethon, once tried to drive his chariot but spun out of control. Zeus eventually intervened and sent a thunderbolt to strike him down before he set the world ablaze. A modern reference of the name is used in the popular children’s cartoon ‘Winx Club’, where Helia is the name of a boy who becomes the love interest for one of the main characters, Flora.
