Titan is an epic, gender-neutral name of Greek origin. Referring to the children of Uranus and Gaea in ancient Greek mythology, Titans were being of unfathomable power responsible for shaping the world. There were twelve original Titans, but perhaps the most famous is Cronus—the god who ate his children in the hopes of never being dethroned, to only be tricked and dethroned by his son Zeus. However, there were other Titans who were said to be responsible for things we cherish and are comforted by today. Giving baby a name to represent this ancient, unknowable power is to give them encouragement to embrace their own strength every day.
