Hilaeira Name meanings & History

The name Hilaeira means "shining" or "sparkling". In Greek mythology, Hilaeira was one of the daughters of King Leucippus of Messenia. Means "softly-shining" in Greek (probably from ἱλαρός (hilaros) "cheerful, bright"; compare Hilarius). In Greek myth the sisters Hilaeira and Phoebe, commonly referred to as the Leucippides (being daughters of Leucippus of Mycenae), were carried off by Castor and Pollux, who were charmed by their beauty. This was also an epithet of the moon goddess Selene. The name Hilaeira is most commonly used among parents looking to give their child a unique and unusual name, as it is not commonly used in modern times.
