Greek Myth Names: Beyond Athena and Orion (WIP)

If you are passionate about mythology or have Greek heritage, why settle for a well known name such as Persephone or Iris? These names are inexplicably tied with mythology, but the following are unusual names with a history spanning millennia. Goodbye, Apollo and Artemis, hello Elpis and Acheron. (I suggest looking up the pronunciation, but two important rules are that the 'e' at the end is always pronounced 'ee' and that the c makes a hard kuh sound like in car.)
  1. Alala
    • Origin:

      Greek mythology name
    • Meaning:

      "war cry"
    • Description:

      This name of the mythological sister of Mars might be used for a girl born under one of the signs ruled by the planet Mars--Aries or Scorpio. She is the personification of the war cry.
  2. Aletheia
    • Arae
      • Asteria
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "star"
        • Description:

          Asteria is an Anglicized spelling of the Greek Astraea or Astraia, the goddess of justice and innocence. She became the constellation Virgo, so all forms of this name would be especially appropriate for a child born in late August or early September.
