Aphaia Name meanings & History

"invisible" or "fighting spirit". Aphaia was a Greek goddess who was worshipped almost exclusively at a single sanctuary on the island of Aegina in the Saronic Gulf. She originated as early as the 14th century BCE as a local deity associated with fertility and the agricultural cycle. Under Athenian hegemony, however, she came to be identified with the goddesses Athena and Artemis and with the nymph Britomartis. Aphaia is a modern name that may appeal to parents seeking a unique and meaningful choice for their daughter. It could be a good fit for families with Greek heritage or those who simply appreciate the story and symbolism behind the name.
