Meaning
“Possibly 'strength' or 'father light'”
Spanish and Portuguese form of Apollo, the Greek god of prophecy, medicine, music, art, and later the sun. The name's origin is uncertain: possibly from an Indo-European root '*apelo-' meaning 'strength', or from the Anatolian deity Appaliunas, whose name possibly means 'father lion' or 'father light'. The Greeks later folk-connected it to 'apollymi' ('to destroy').
