Temperance is a girl’s name of virtue with British origins and means “moderation.” In terms of looking at this name through a Greek Myth lens, Temperance and all things related to self-control was portrayed through Sophrosyne. She was a character who was the Greek concept of ideal excellence. She was also one of the very few good spirits to be released from Pandora’s box. If you’re a fan with names with true meaning and obtain a Greek Myth element, you can’t go wrong with Temperance.
