Derived from the Greek Penelope, a name in Greek mythology borne by Odysseus' wife, who, for twenty years, patiently awaited his return. The etymology of the name is debated. Some believe it is derived from the Greek penelops (a kind of duck), since Penelope was said to have been exposed to die as an infant and was fed and protected by a duck. Others think it is derived from pene (thread on the bobbin) and give it the definition "weaver, worker of the loom," for Penelope is said to have spent most of her time weaving and unweaving while awaiting Odysseus' return |
