History & Origin

Nektaria comes from the Greek nektar, the immortal drink of the Olympian gods. It is the feminine of Nektarios, a name carried by Saint Nektarios of Aegina, among the most venerated of modern Greek Orthodox saints, which keeps it in steady use in Greece (said 'nek-TAR-ee-uh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Very rare, classical, and Greek-rooted.
