For a little one who has a constellation of beautiful qualities, Vespers is a stellar choice. Thought to be a version of Vesper or Vespera, this gender-neutral title is the Latin cognate of the Greek Hesperos. Meaning “evening” or “evening star,” there is no more fitting name for the light of your life. Interestingly, in Greek mythology, Hesperos, alongside Eosphoros—the dawn-bringer— were the gods of the star Venus in the evening and morning, respectively, before being combined. Reminding baby to reach for the stars, Vespers will lead them to fulfill their cosmic potential.
