About Hebe
The name of the Greek goddess of youth, daughter of Zeus and Hera, is rarely used today but may be ripe for revival considering the popularity of rhyming Phoebe. Sweet as Bebe but with the sophistication of Hera or Hero, it can be pronounced as HEH-BEH in classical Greek and as HEE-bee in English.
While some may find is a little close to the phrase "heebie-jeebies", it nevertheless featured in the England and Wales charts back in the late 90s and early 2000s and doubles up as a botanical name, associated with colorful evergreen shrubs with purple, pink, or white flowers.
Pronounced HEE-bee.
As of October 2026, Hebe ranked #12723 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #4909 in 1917.
