Kirke

Kirke is a gender-neutral name of Greek and Old Norse origin. Kirke is the original Greek spelling of Circe, which comes from the Greek word kirkos and means “hawk.” Circe is a well-known figure in mythology, the Greek goddess and sorceress who changed Odysseus’ crew into pigs in Homer’s Odyssey. Kirke is also traditionally a last name in England and Scotland, from the Old Norse kirkja, which means “church.” If you’re looking to pass on your love of all things mythology to baby, Kirke could be the perfect name choice.
