Help baby share your love for mythology with the name Niobe. This feminine name has Greek roots, translating to “fern” and adding a lush, earthy tone to your little one’s life. In Greek mythology, Niobe was a queen of Thebes whose tragic story is a unique way to match baby’s dark, edgy spirit. In the story, Niobe boasted about her 14 children to the goddess Leto, who had them slain as punishment. During her grief, she’s turned to stone, and became what is known today as The Weeping Rock. If you want to help baby build their interest and folklore—and realize the importance of humility—the name Niobe will be unforgettable.
