Penelope
Greek origin
“Derived from the Greek 'pene' (thread, weaver) and 'ops' (face), Penelope carries the legacy of the faithful wife of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey, who wove and unwove cloth while awaiting her husband's return. The name evokes intelligence, loyalty, and quiet strength. Its literary pedigree and gentle elegance have made it a perennial favorite across centuries and cultures.”
