Amphitrite Origin and Meaning
The name Amphitrite is a girl's name meaning "the surrounding sea or the surrounding third".
Amphitrite is a mysterious Greek mythological figure, most often cited as a sea goddess who was the wife of Poseidon. She was said to be the personification of the sea water itself and was said to be present at the birth of Apollo.
She later became a more minor figure, noted more as the mother of Triton and Rhodos than in her own right. A great water-based name for the adventurous parent.
