Orfeya

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Greek

Meaning: The darkness of night

Orfeya is a modern respelling of the Ancient Greek Orpheus, paying tribute to one of mythology’s greatest musicians ever. Though Orpheus' true origins are unknown, the name is often given the dusky meaning “the darkness of night.” This interpretation was likely inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, in which Orpheus journeys to the Underworld to retrieve his wife, Eurydice. Should your little muse arrive in the night or have such talent for music that even the gods are enchanted, Orfeya dances to the beat of their soul. As baby pursues their dreams at their own rhythmic pace, Orfeya will serve as an unwavering reminder to never look back.
