Phoeboe Origin and Meaning

The name Phoeboe is a girl's name.

Phoeboe appears to be a variation of the more common Phoebe, with an unusual spelling that adds an extra letter to the traditional form. The name has ancient Greek origins, derived from 'Phoibos' meaning 'bright' or 'pure,' and was the feminine form of an epithet of Apollo, the god of light. In Greek mythology, Phoebe was a Titan associated with the moon and prophecy. This unusual spelling variant maintains the melodic, feminine sound of Phoebe while creating a distinctive visual presentation. The name remains quite rare, making it an uncommon choice that still carries the familiar pronunciation and classical heritage of the original. Its mythological connections give it depth and cultural resonance despite its unconventional spelling.
