Galatea is a pretty beautiful name with an interesting etymology. It ages well, not too weird on a human being, and it just rolls off the tongue. I’d probably use it as a middle name.

This might sound a bit anecdotal, but I've yet to meet a single person who doesn't like this name. It sounds pleasant, and the meaning behind it is equally attractive.

Very very pretty and beautiful! It has grace and it sounds stellar, as it sounds like galaxy and its meaning (milky) reminds me of the Milky Way. 10/10 would use it.

Usages: Greek Mythology (Latinized), Italian (Rare)
Meaning: Latinized form of Galateia, meaning "she who is milk-white", from Greek γάλα (gala) meaning "milk", though it is sometimes interpreted as meaning "calm goddess" from Greek γαλήνη (galene) meaning "stillness of the sea, calm" and θεά (thea) meaning "goddess". This was the name of several characters in Greek mythology including a sea nymph, the daughter of Doris and Nereus.
Galatea is the usual form in English so the meaning and origin should stay on this site as well and not just be under Galateia.
Galatea and Galateia are both used in English (interchangeably in many cases) which is why the daughter of Doris is sometimes listed as Galatea and sometimes as Galateia.
