Eclipse
Meaning of Eclipse
Eclipse drifts into the nursery like a hush at midday, her name born of the ancient Greek ekleipsis—“to leave, to hide away”—and carried through Latin to modern ears, where it still slips between light and shadow with practiced grace. She wears celestial drama as casually as a silk haori: the Moon’s quiet interlude across the Sun, the sudden twilight that sends cicadas into confused applause, and, in old Japanese lore, the moment Amaterasu’s brilliance was coaxed back from the cave, promising renewal after the briefest dark. For all that grandeur, there’s a sly wink in her rarity; hospital records show her arriving only a handful of times each year, as if she understands the art of limited editions. Eclipse speaks to parents who savor the cool thrill of cosmic spectacle, who hear freedom in the silvery hush before the sky remembers its light, and who trust that a child so named will grow comfortable guiding others through luminous moments and gentle dusk alike.
