About Pleione

A starry sounding name from Greek mythology, Pleione was an Oceanid nymph, whose seven daughters were turned into the group of stars known as the Pleiades. Associated with the Taurus constellation, Pleione is also the name of a star and the name of a type of orchid, making it celestial and botanical.

Likely derived from the Greek pleion meaning "greater, more" and pronounced with a soft first syllable, it might appeal to those who like Penelope, Persephone, or Leonie, but want a one of a kind sort of name.

Pronounced PLEE-uh-nee.
