Actually, I would have guessed it was a form of "Helius".

Try Old Norse, where Heill meant 'hale, hearty, happy' which morphed into the adj. heilagr 'prosperous, successful' and became the common Scandinavian name element Hel- as in Helge, better known to Germans in it's feminine form, Helga.

Hi!

I doubt that there's a connection because according to name statistics there is nobody with the name Helus (neither for first nor surname) in the Scandinavian countries ...

A quick look found a Johann Hellus in Germany in the 1700's with a daughter that took on the surname Helusova....pointing towards Bohemian roots. Maybe Czech? Slovak? If so, wonder if it's based on the Greek helios then or another Slavic root....hmmmm.

Hi,

Helus is not German. And that's all I know about this name I'm afraid!
