Aerope Name meanings & History

Aerope is a Greek name meaning "on high". It was derived from the name Amaerope, which means "highborn". Feminine form of Greek Ἀέροπος (Aeropos) (see Aeropus). In Greek myth Aerope was a daughter of King Catreus of Crete, granddaughter of Minos and wife of Atreus (to whom she was married after the death of his son and her first husband Pleisthenes). Her sons, Agamemnon and Menelaus, were generally believed to be Atreus' sons. However, Aerope was faithless to Atreus, being seduced by his brother Thyestes.
