Harmony's Notebook puts her name front and center, written in flowing script across a soft watercolor apple blossom design.
Harmony comes from the English word harmony, says Behind the Name, ultimately from Greek harmonia. Wikipedia adds that Harmonia was the Greek goddess of harmony and concord, and that the name has been used in English since the 1800s. It belongs with Hope, Faith and other English virtue and vocabulary names.
Behind the Name lists Harmoni and Harmonie as English variants. Wikipedia also notes spellings such as Harmonee and Harmonii in recent US use. Those creative endings keep the musical meaning while freshening the look.
The original Harmony is the goddess Harmonia. Wikipedia says she is the Greek goddess of harmony and concord, traditionally the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares, and that she is best known for her marriage to Cadmus and the misfortunes that later haunted their descendants. Her name is literally the Greek word for harmony, so the modern English given name and the goddess share a root.
Harmony is a 2010s name in America. US Social Security data has it at 194th in the 2010s, when more than 16,300 girls were named Harmony. Behind the Name has it 276th in the US and 538th in England and Wales in 2025, and it once reached 77th in New Zealand, in 2010. Wikipedia says it ranked among the top 1,000 US girls’ names from 1997 to 2021, reaching 198th for newborns in 2021.
Harmonia’s wedding gift was a cursed necklace. Wikipedia says the Necklace of Harmonia brought misfortune to her family line, a dark twist for a goddess whose name means concord. Cadmus and Harmonia’s wedding is one of the most famous marriages in Greek myth, even though the necklace spoiled the ending.
