ménos ‎híppos > Meníppe / Ménippos
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Meníppe (Μενίππη),” composed of two elements: “ménos ‎(μένος)” (courage, spirit, vigor, power, strength, force) plus “híppos (ῐ̔́ππος)” (horse, cavalry, horseman). In turn, the name means “one who has the strength and vigor of a horse.” Meníppe (Μενίππη). In Greek mythology, there were several people named Menippe, among the most important: 1) A daughter of Orion and sister of Metioche. 2) One of the Nereids. 3) Menippe, one of the Amazons. 4) A daughter of Peneius, and wife of Pelasgus. Menippus of Gadara (310–255 BC) was a Cynic satirist. His works, which are all lost, were an essential influence on Varro and Lucian. The Menippean satire is a form of satire, usually in prose, which has a length and structure similar to a novel and is characterized by attacking mental attitudes rather than specific individuals or entities.
