Feminine
Harmony
Harmony, concord
What it means
An English word name from Greek harmonia, 'agreement' or 'concord.' Harmonia was also a minor Greek goddess of accord.
Harmony is a word name lifted straight from the English vocabulary, by way of Greek harmonia, 'a joining or agreement,' the same root behind the musical sense. In Greek myth Harmonia was the goddess of concord and the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite. As a given name it sits with the gentle musical-word names, Melody and Lyric, and reads calm and hopeful. Harmonie is the French-flavored spelling.
