Greek Goddess Names

Greek goddess names are making an unlikely comeback for 21st century babies, combining ancient roots with august namesakes and distinctive style. Some names of the Greek goddesses are well-known in the contemporary Western world, such as Iris and Selene, while others are used occasionally or have been asleep for centuries.

Along with Iris and Selene, other Greek goddess names in the US Top 1000 include Calliope, Persephone, Athena, Maia, Daphne, Penelope, Irene, and Phoebe. Unique Greek goddess names worth considering for your daughter include Anthea, Gaia, Artemis, and Clio — the Muse of history and heroic poetry.
