      Origin

      English

      Meaning

      Combination of Althea and Athene

      Variations

      Althea, Athena, Athenais
      The name Althena finds its origins in the English language and is derived from a combination of the names Althea and Athene. Althea is of Greek origin and means healer, while Athene is rooted in ancient Greek mythology, representing the goddess of wisdom, civilization, and warfare. The fusion of these two names gives rise to Althena, a name that is both unique and meaningful.

      In terms of its historical usage, Althena has been a relatively uncommon name throughout time. There are rare instances of the name appearing in ancient literature or historical records. However, it is important to note that historical data regarding first names can be limited, and as such, Althena's historical presence may have been overshadowed by more prominent names of various eras.

      Today, Althena remains an infrequently used name, yet it maintains a small presence in modern-day usage. Some individuals choose to bestow this name upon their daughters, often valuing its distinctive nature and the significant meanings associated with Althea and Athene. While not widely popular, the name Althena serves as a testament to the diverse pool of names available to individuals seeking a unique and meaningful appellation for their children.
