With a name like Iris, you can be sure that your girl will be bring hope to all around her! Image Credit: 11) Aura Iris was the goddess of rainbows, messages and communications, as well as new endeavours. Even the name Asteria sounds alluring, and your girl will charm and intrigue people around her! Image Credit: 10) Iris The name Asteria crops up various times in different accounts of Greek mythology, but she is best known as titaness of nocturnal oracles and falling stars. Whether Nike or Victoria, your girl will triumph in anything she chooses to do! Image Credit: 9) Asteria Wait what? Nike’s a Greek name? If the Roman name Victoria didn’t give it away already, Nike was the goddess of victory. No one will be able to best your girl with a name like Athena! Image Credit: 8) Nike (Victoria)
Yet another well-known name, Athena was the goddess of reason, wisdom, intelligence, skill, and warfare among others. Most commonly known as the virgin goddess of the hunt with a bow and arrows, your Artemis will grow up to be strong and independent! Image Credit: 6) Selene (Luna)īoth Greek and Roman names are on equal footing, I think! Selene (sometimes Selena) was the titaness of the moon, and there’s a soft power and mystery in naming your girl after the moon, don’t you think? Image Credit: 7) Athena (Minerva) Image Credit: 5) Artemis (Diana)Īgain, usually Diana is used in place of Artemis, but I favour the Greek name personally. (A titaness has a higher rank than goddess, by the way.) This name is more common compared to the rest, but did you know it came from Greek mythology? Admittedly, Phoebe is not a goddess, but the titaness of the “bright” intellect, the moon, and prophecy. The goddess of beauty, love and pleasure, your girl will have lots of love to give, and be beautiful inside out! Image Credit: 4) Phoebe Personally, I prefer the Roman name Juno, but it’s totally up to you! As Queen of the Gods, you can bet that your girl will grow up to be regal and imperial just like Hera! Image Credit: 3) Aphrodite (Venus)Īrguably the most famous Greek goddess of them all, no doubt her Roman name Venus is favoured. With Aletheia, you could instill the value of integrity within your girl, so that she’ll grow up to be sincere and just! Image Credit: 2) Hera (Juno) If you’re about to welcome a baby girl, congratulations first and foremost, and here’s a lost of Greek goddesses to name your baby girl after! (Note: Certain goddesses have Roman counterparts (different names) as well, which we’ve included!)Īletheia was the Greek goddess of truth and sincerity. Modern literature frequently features Greek mythology character adaptations, and more commonly, we use theses characters’ names. Till today, Greek mythology remains a subject of great interest, and still finds its way into our everyday lives.
