Penelope

n. female first name; (Greek mythology) wife of Odysseus

In Homer's Odyssey, Penélopê (Πηνελόπη) is the faithful wife of Odysseus, who keeps her suitors at bay in his long absence and is rejoined with him at last. Her name is usually understood to combine the Greek word for web or woof (πηνη) and the word for eye or face (ωψ), very appropriate for a weaver of cunning whose motivation is hard to decipher. Until recent readings, her name has been associated with faithfulness, but the most recent readings offer a more ambiguous reading.
