Circe

Meaning of Circe

The name Circe, pronounced SUR-see, unfurls like an ancient scroll touched by sunlight, carrying a hint of Latin charm and the whisper of mythic shores. Born in the golden age of Greek legend and later woven into Ovid’s poetic tapestry, Circe evokes the image of a wise enchantress whose gentle power could calm the stormiest heart—or, with a wink and a flick of her robe, turn unwary sailors into swine (though today’s little Circe is more likely to charm playdates than sea monsters). This is a name wrapped in transformation and allure, where wisdom dances hand-in-hand with independence, and every soft “C” feels like a promise of stories yet to be told. Warm, unexpected, and steeped in the romance of antiquity, Circe invites its bearer to write her own epic.
