Significado
Latinized forma de the Griego name Φοιβη (Phoibe), which meant bright, pure from Griego φοιβος (phoibos). In Griego mythology Phoibe was a Titan associated with the moon. This was also an epithet of her granddaughter, the moon goddess Artemis. The name appears in Pauls epistle to the Romans in the New Testament, where it belongs to a female minister in the church at Cenchreae. In England, it began to be used as a given name after the Protestant Reformation. A moon of Saturn bears this name (in honour of the Titan).
