ArchivesRe: Hesper
in reply to a message by katie
Wow! I was just about to ask the exact same question!
The only information I found about this name come from a source that didn't seem very trustworthy to me... Anyway, this site said that Hesper is derived from a Greek word meaning "evening" or "of the evening" or "vespertine".
Could anyone confirm this or offer some more (and more trustworthy) information?
Thanks in advance.

The Greeks referred to Italy as Hesperia, since the sun set and the evening star rose there. It's also a name of a town in California.
Other forms: Hespera, Hesperia
Male forms: Hesperos, Hesperios, Hespero, Hesperus
