Phaedre

Phaedre is a delightful name that is generally used to name both boys and girls. Phaedre comes from the Greek language. The name was originally used in one of the most famous tales in Greek mythology. It's a variant of Phaedra, the name of a Greek princess. She was the daughter of the Cretan king Minos and the daughter of the sorceress Pasiphae. Later on, when Theseus comes to the island of Crete, Phaedra marries him and leaves the island with the hero. Phaedra's story has been a persistent theme in literature worldwide. It has been depicted in poetry, plays, films, and operas. The name Phaedre came from the Greek word phaidros, and the meaning of Phaedre is 'bright' or 'light'. Phaedre would then be used in different forms of mediums. One could mistake of thinking the name was only popular with the Ancient Greeks. The original variant of Phaedre is seen in Australian actress Phaedra Nicolaidis and American actress and TV personality Phaedra Parks. There is a 1962 released American-Greek film called 'Phaedra'. German band Tangerine Dream has an album named Phaedra, released by Virgin Records in 1974.
