A Greek name gently fading from the charts.
Pheobe is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, an alternate spelling of Phoebe from the Greek Phoibos meaning 'bright, shining' or 'radiant.' In Greek mythology, Phoebe was a Titan associated with the moon; the name also appears in the Bible as a deaconess in Paul's letter to the Romans.
Pheobe was #6439 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #8806, but its charm endures.
