Vespera

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Evening star

Vespera is a name traditionally given to girls. Latin in origin, it's widely thought to be derived from the expression vesper, meaning “evening star,” but it may also draw from Hesperus, a Greek name belonging to the mythological personification of Venus. In Ancient Greek vase paintings, Hesperus was often depicted with a shining orb in hand and a radiant halo over his head. Likewise, may Vespera be the name that clothes your little one with light!
