Clytie

Invite baby to tap into their innate splendor with Clytie, a feminine name of Greek origin. Clytie is a respelling of Klytië and is also considered a shortened form of Clytemnestra. These names stem from the Greek root klytos and bear the radiant meanings “famous,” “glorious,” and “noble.” Clytie is the name of an Oceanid nymph who was in love with the sun god Helios. Heartbroken over losing his affection, she was transformed into a heliotrope flower whose face always followed the sun as it rolled across the sky. While its link to mythology adds a touch of Greek tragedy to the name, Clytie has a bright and bubbly sound. Perhaps baby Clytie will be empowered by this story to find strength in their independence and recognize those who are truly worthy of their love.
