Polyxena Name meanings & History

Polyxena means "many guests" or "very hospitable" in Greek mythology. It was the name of the youngest daughter of King Priam of Troy. Latinized form of Greek Πολυξένη (Polyxene), which was from the word πολύξενος (polyxenos) meaning "entertaining many guests, very hospitable", itself derived from πολύς (polys) meaning "many" and ξένος (xenos) meaning "foreigner, guest". In Greek legend she was a daughter of Priam and Hecuba, beloved by Achilles. After the Trojan War, Achilles' son Neoptolemus sacrificed her. The name Polyxena is commonly used as a first name for girls, especially in Greece, but is exceedingly rare in the US and other western countries.
