Castalia Name meanings & History

In Greek mythology, Castalia was the name of a nymph who turned into a spring that was sacred to the muses. The name is derived from the Greek word "κασταλία" (kastalia), meaning "pure". Latinized form of the Greek Κασταλία (Kastalia), which is of uncertain origin, possibly related to Greek καθαρός (katharos) meaning "clean, spotless, pure" or κασσύω (kassuô) "to stitch". This was the name of a nymph of the prophetic springs of the Delphic oracle on Mount Parnassos. She may be the same as the nymph Κασσωτίς (Kassôtis) (see Cassotis). Castalia is a lovely name for a girl that has a poetic and dreamy quality to it, and it is perfect for parents who are looking for something out of the ordinary.
