Meaning & History

From the poetic Greek adjective ὠκύρους (okyrous) meaning "fast-flowing", from ὠκύς (okys) "quick, swift, fast" and ῥοή (rhoe) "stream, river, flow". In Greek mythology this was the name of a Naiad-nymph of the Aegean island of Samos. She was pursued by the god Apollo and when she tried to flee from the island by boat, he turned the boat to stone and the sailor into a pilot-fish.
