pérthō phōnḗ > Persephónē
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Persephónē (Περσεφόνη),” composed of two elements: “pérthō (πέρθω)” (to sack, ravage, destroy) plus “phōnḗ ‎(φωνή)” (sound, voice, speech, discourse). In turn, the name means “the voice of destruction, to destroy, murder, the maiden.” Persephone, also called Kore, is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest-goddess Demeter, and queen of the underworld. Homer describes her as the formidable, venerable majestic queen of the shades, who carries into effect the curses of men upon the souls of the dead.
