Subject: Obelia
Author: LullabyMoon11   (Authenticated as LullabyMoon11)

One of my baby name books lists the name Obelia as a Greek girls name meaning 'needle'. However, when i tried to research more about this name, all i could find that it was a type of protozoa!

Not only that, but i coudn't find any Greek vocab words for 'needle' that vaguely resembled Obelia.

Does anyone have any further information on this name? (Like if it actually means 'needle', etc...)

Za soluna, za stambola,
Bitola ne davam...
