Greek Mythology Names For Girls

A list of names for baby girls that come from Ancient Greek myths and figures.

This rare name, used by a Byzantine saint, is not as attractive as other Greek "Eu" name like Eugenia, Eulalie and Eudora. This probably belongs in the footnotes of the history books.

Eupraxia

Likely derived from the same root as Eros, Erato is a rare choice from Greek mythology, borne by one of the Nine Muses. Known as the Muse of lyric poetry — and erotic poetry — she is often depicted as holding a wreath made of myrtle and roses, and with either a lyre or a kithara, and more occasionally with turtle doves at her feet.
<br></br>
While the names of some of her sisters and fellow Muses are now familiar choices — see Clio, Thalia, and Calliope — Erato has remained rare. While it was borne by an ancient queen of Armenia, it suffers perhaps, because it reminds English speakers at least of the words erotic, error and erratum, 
<br></br>
It is however still used quietly in Greece and Cyprus, and, with the contemporary interest in myhtological —  and rarer myth-inspired choices — perhaps Erato is one to watch alongside Ares, Atreus, Lyra, and Persephone.
