About Iphigenia
In mythology, Iphigenia was sacrificed by her father, Agamemnon -- a difficult legacy to pass on to a daughter, and only one reason the name is hardly ever used.
Pronounced if-uh-JEE-nee-uh.
Editor's take: The name Iphigenia is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "of royal birth".
