Origin: Greek

Meaning: Bright

Nighttime and darkness will fall, but the brightness will never fade with this beautiful Greek feminine name. Phadra comes from the word phaidros, meaning "bright," and is a slight variant of the feminine name Phaedra. A name that has traveled many centuries, it first came to prominence in Greek myth through Phaedra, the daughter of King Minos. In modern times, Phaedra Creonta Parks, an attorney and American television personality, has kept the name shining brightly. A synonym for clever, "bright" baby Phadra will undoubtedly be the top of their class.
