Dirce Name meanings & History
"to purify" or "to cleanse". Latinized form of Greek Δίρκη (Dirkê), which is of uncertain meaning, possibly derived from Greek δι- (di-) "two, twofold, in two" and ῥήγνυμι (rhêgnumi) "to break asunder, rend, shatter". In Greek mythology Dirce was the wife of the Theban king Lycus and aunt to Antiope, whom she treated cruelly.
