In Greek mythologoy, Kalliope, the muse of poetry and eloquence, was also the mother of Orpheus.-- Anonymous User 7/6/2005
From my limited knowledge in Greek mythology, I believe it is pronounced something like kall-eye-oh-pee or kahl-eye-oh-pee.-- crazycoffeegeek 8/20/2005
As it is a Hellenic (Greek) name, and also my name, the correct pronunciation of it is: Ka-llyi-oh-pyi. Some other linguists however relate it to beautiful eyes from the present perfect tense of the verb "see" (simple present: orao (type A), oro (type B), opopa (present perfect) and opthalmos which is the eye in Ancient Hellenic) and some others to beautiful face from "opsis".-- winged 11/8/2005
Kalliope was one of Cinderella's evil stepsisters in Rogers & Hammerstein's version of "Cinderella."-- breakofday 12/21/2005
The meaning "beautiful voice" makes it sound so elegant, but the OPE at the end ruins it for me by making it oaf-like.-- Anonymous User 9/20/2006
It doesn't sound like "oaf", it's pronounced "Kall-eye-oh-pee!" BUT the last syllable is still a bit objectionable.-- lunalovegood 12/3/2007
Kalliopé was in Greek mythology Zeus´s daughter and Goddess of memory Mnémosyné.-- Karcoolka 4/24/2007
In ancient Greek, probably pronounced kah-lee-oh-peh, with the emphasis on the "oh".-- galantine 10/20/2008
This name is beautiful. It has a sophisticated but somewhat impish feel to it. I would name my child this.-- vespertine 11/17/2009
