Pépélope
Pépélope Origin and Meaning
Pépélope is a feminine name that appears to be a stylized variation of Penelope, incorporating French-inspired accent marks. Penelope originates from Greek mythology, where she was the faithful wife of Odysseus known for her loyalty and cleverness. The name traditionally means 'weaver' or 'duck.' This variant spelling with accents gives the classic name a unique, international flair. While extremely rare compared to the traditional Penelope, Pépélope offers parents a way to honor the mythological roots while creating a distinctive identity for their daughter. The accented version might appeal to those with French heritage or those seeking a more exotic twist on a recognizable classic, though its pronunciation may cause some confusion in primarily English-speaking contexts.
