History & Origin
Aphrodite comes from Greek Aphrodite — the goddess of love, beauty, and desire, who, in myth, rose fully grown from the sea foam (her name traditionally linked to aphros, 'foam', though the true origin is uncertain and possibly pre-Greek; routes layered, which we note). A bold, glamorous, mythic name (the Roman Venus); said 'af-rə-DY-tee'.
It registers thinly in records. Rare, the-goddess-of-love at the root, and mythic.
