  6. Phaedre

    • Description:

      Phaedre is a feminine name with classical Greek origins, adapted from the Greek name Phaedra, which derives from 'phaidros' meaning 'bright' or 'radiant.' In Greek mythology, Phaedra was the daughter of King Minos and wife of Theseus, featuring prominently in tragic plays by Euripides and Seneca. This alternative spelling with the 'e' ending gives the name a slightly French inflection while maintaining its classical roots. Though rare in modern usage, Phaedre appeals to parents drawn to names with literary and mythological significance. The name carries a mysterious, elegant quality balanced by its connection to ancient storytelling traditions. Despite its relative obscurity, Phaedre offers a distinctive choice for those seeking a name with depth, classical heritage, and sophisticated sound.
