Meaning & History

Means "vulture; lammergeier, ossifrage" in Ancient Greek. This was the name of a queen of Attica in Greek mythology, whose husband, Periphas, was turned into an eagle by Zeus, who then transformed Phene into a vulture when she asked to also become a bird so that she could be with her husband.
