In Greek mythology Alcmene was mother of Herakles by Zeus, who tricked her by disguising himself as her absent husband. The name has the evocative meaning "strength and power of the moon", made from combining the Greek elements alke (power) and mene (moon), although "strength and wrath" is another possible interpretation, using the element menis.
