Origin: Greek
Meaning: God from the supreme mind; Goddess of wisdom
Like a bright idea formed in the mind, baby’s anticipated arrival has heads and hearts aflutter. Athenais is a feminine name replete with Greek mythological energy as a form of Athena. Borne by the goddess of wisdom, broken down the name means “god from the supreme mind.” This refers to Athena’s birth where she sprung out of Zeus' head because he had swallowed her mother, Metis, whole. Athenais is the name of one of the oracles said to have told Alexander the Great of his divine descent. Classical, romantic, and infused with wisdom, Athenais is a clever choice for a clever tot.
