Phebe

The meaning of Phoíbē is 'radiant', 'dazzling', 'prophetic', and 'pure one' and Ancient Greek, where it originates. Phoibe was one of the original Titans in Greek mythology, a group of Uranus and Gaia's offspring. As in Michael Drayton's 'Endimion And Phoebe', the earliest comprehensive portrayal of the Endymion tale in English, she was customarily connected to the moon. The apostle Paul made reference to Phoebe, a Christian woman from the first century, in his Epistle to the Romans. Phoebus is Phoebe's opposite in gender. The pleasant and alluring Phoebe, a name with mythological, religious, Shakespearean, as well as Salinger connections, gained prominence thanks to one of the well-known series 'Friends'. Phoebe is a church deaconess in the New Testament. Shakespeare used a variation of the name Phoebe, spelled as Phebe, for a gruff forest dweller in 'As You Like It'; Phoebe Pynchon was a jovial young girl in Hawthorne's 'The House Of Seven Gables'; and Phoebe is Holden Caulfield's empathetic, bright ten-year-old sister in 'Catcher In The Rye'. Melinda and Bill Gates named their daughter Phoebe. American entrepreneur and ex-intelligence officer, Phebe Novakovic, holds the positions of chair and CEO at General Dynamics.
