Pheebe Origin and Meaning

The name Pheebe is a girl's name.

Pheebe is an uncommon variant spelling of the more traditional Phoebe. The original name derives from Greek mythology, where Phoebe was a Titaness associated with the moon and prophecy, with the name meaning 'bright' or 'pure.' This alternative spelling maintains the melodic sound of the original while offering a unique twist. Phoebe gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century, partly due to the character in the television show 'Friends,' though the Pheebe variant remains quite rare. The name carries pleasant associations with brightness and radiance from its Greek origins. Parents might choose this spelling variation to give a distinctive touch to a name with classical roots while maintaining its gentle, feminine qualities.
