Meaning & History

Latinized form of Greek Αιθρη (#Aithre#) meaning "bright, purer air; the sky" in Greek (from #aithein# "to burn, shine"). This was the name of several characters in Greek myth including the mother of THESEUS, a captive of Troy, at the service of HELEN until the city was besieged.
