Phoebey Origin and Meaning

The name Phoebey is a girl's name.

Phoebey appears to be a variant spelling of Phoebe, a feminine name with ancient Greek origins. The name derives from "Phoibos," meaning "bright" or "pure," and in Greek mythology, Phoebe was a Titaness associated with the moon and prophecy. This alternative spelling maintains the pronunciation of the traditional Phoebe while adding a distinctive visual element with the "y" ending. While Phoebe has enjoyed periodic popularity, particularly rising in the late 20th century partially due to the character on the television show "Friends," the Phoebey variant remains extremely uncommon. This spelling might appeal to parents who appreciate the classical origins and bright meaning of Phoebe but seek a more unique presentation for their daughter's name.
