Marpessa

Marpessa is a legendary name preferred for infant girls worldwide. It's a Greek name with strong ties to Greek mythology. The meaning of Marpessa in Greek is 'the robbed one'; 'daughter of Evenus'; 'snatcher'; 'gobbler', and in Latin, it means 'daughter of Alcippe'. According to Greek mythology and legends, Marpessa has great relevance with the Amazon queen Marpesia or Marpessa and Theban woman Marpessa. In fact, Marpessa actually represents an Aetolian princess who is torn between her two lovers, the deity Apollo and the human hero Idas in Homer's 'Iliad'. The name Marpessa gains added value due to its legendary significance. Both the Dutch supermodel Marpessa Hennink and the American model Marpessa Dawn are magnificent representatives of the name Marpessa. However, this lovely female name is derived from the Greek MARPESA/MRPSSA. Although the Greek culture embraces this traditional name, Christian communities also overwhelmingly favor it. Therefore, parents can think about using this name for their daughters.

Marpessa lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
