Meaning: To sew songs together

Welcome Rhapsody to the world to add new layers to your life's melody. This feminine name comes from the English verb, the French rhapsodie, the Latin rhapsōdĭa and the Greek rhapsōidía. It traces its meaning of "to sew songs together" back to Homer's epic poems and, throughout history, has been used to refer to free-flowing music, which incorporates improvisation and is highly emotional. Perhaps the most famous example of its meaning is rock legend Queen's “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a song listed by many as one of the greatest of all time.
