Lethe

Lethe is a unique and captivating name for a baby girl. Its origin can be traced back to Greek mythology, where it was the name of a river in the underworld. In Greek, Lethe means "forgetfulness" or "oblivion." According to myth, those who drank from the waters of Lethe would forget their past lives upon reincarnation. This enchanting name carries associations with renewal and rebirth. The English pronunciation of Lethe is LEE-thee (/ˈliːθi/). It is worth noting that there is a variation of this name, spelled as Letha.
