Fenia is a feminine name of Scandinavian origin. Stemming from the Ancient Greek pháos, it means “enlightened one,” “light one,” or “brilliant one,” perfect for honoring your beaming little bundle of joy. Fenia is a variant of the name Fenja, which some might recognize from the Old Norse poem Gróttasöngr about two young girls, Fenja and Menja. The girls are believed to be descended from mountain-risar, supernatural beings in Germanic and Norse mythology, inspiring the other meaning of Fenia—“giantess.” Baby Fenia can feel encouraged to know their power and reach for the stars.
