About Alathea

In some versions of Greek myth, Aletheia was the personification of truth, and as such it saw increased use in the 19th-century in the form of Alethea, given as a virtue-adjacent choice. This alternative spelling has been appearing in the US stats since 2003, perhaps to reinforce the al-uh-THEE-uh pronunciation over uh-LEE-thee-uh.

As of October 2026, Alathea ranked #12225 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #10912 in 2015.
