In Greek culture, it was also the name of a woman who rejected the love of a man until he eventually died, and she turned into a stone statue as a punishment. Means "master of virtue" in Greek. In Greek myth this name belonged to a Cypriot maiden whose rejection of Iphis incurred the wrath of Aphrodite.
