ArchivesRe: WHAT DOES "DIDO" MEAN?
in reply to a message by Samuel
"Dido " means "virgin". Check out this website to read about the original Dido of classical literature -- not the pop singer:

According to this website, "Dido " means "the wanderer":
http://www.clas.canterbury.ac.nz/nzact/virgil3.html
This definition of the name also agrees with the definition of "the fugitive", as given in *Goddesses in World Mythology: A Biographical Dictionary*. Dido was also an eastern goddess of the dawn and twilight mists, and her name meant "the fugitive" because of the fleeting time between day and night.
