Does anyone know any background for the name Iolaus? I searached this database, but didn't see it. I think it was on a television show, and I recently met a little boy with this name. Any information would be appriciated. Thanks!!Kaye

Could you mean Aeolus?. Aeolus was the name of Hercules' friend on the show Hercules.

Now I've found an official Hercules show site that says it's spelled like Iolaus. Do you think this is just a variation?

I believe it's a mispelt variation - the names are pronounced the exact same way.

The meaning of IolaosIt is derived from "ios" (=arrow) and "laos" (=people), hence meaning the weapon or strength of the people. Iolaos od Boiotia was Hercules' sidekick.
