Where does the name Phoebe come from?
Behind the Name says Phoebe is the Latinized form of the Greek name Phoibe, meaning “bright, pure,” from the word phoibos. In Greek mythology Phoibe was a Titan associated with the moon, and it was also an epithet of her granddaughter Artemis. The name appears in Paul’s epistle to the Romans in the New Testament, where it belongs to a female minister in the church at Cenchreae. A moon of Saturn bears this name in honor of the Titan.
