Pheebey Origin and Meaning

The name Pheebey is a girl's name.

Pheebey is an uncommon variant spelling of Phoebe, a name with ancient Greek origins meaning 'bright' or 'pure.' The traditional Phoebe derives from Greek mythology where Phoebe was a Titan associated with the moon and prophecy. This alternative spelling with the 'ey' ending gives the classic name a more whimsical, distinctive quality while maintaining its phonetic pronunciation. While the standard spelling Phoebe has experienced several popularity revivals, including in the 1990s partly due to the character on the television show 'Friends,' the Pheebey variant remains quite rare. This spelling appeals to parents who appreciate the name's classical heritage and bright, cheerful associations but want a more unique written form for their daughter.
