Calypso Name meanings & History

Calypso means "she who conceals" or "she who hides" in Greek mythology. From Greek Καλυψώ (Kalypso), which probably meant "she that conceals", derived from καλύπτω (kalypto) meaning "to cover, to conceal". In Greek myth this was the name of the nymph who fell in love with Odysseus after he was shipwrecked on her island of Ogygia. When he refused to stay with her she detained him for seven years until Zeus ordered her to release him. Calypso is a unique and uncommon name, often used by parents who appreciate Greek mythology or want an unusual name for their child.
