Meaning & History
The name of an Amazon warrior, said to mean "defender", or sometimes "blameless defender". It is probably derived from Greek ἀμυνομένη (amynomene), participle of the verb ἀμύνω (amyno) meaning "to keep off, to ward off, to defend, to assist; to avenge, to repay". The translation of "blameless" may stem from its similarity to the name Amymone.
