Echo is Greek in Origin.
Echo derives from ancient Greek Ἠχώ (Ēchō), itself from ἠχή (ēchē, “sound”), meaning “reverberation” or “reflected sound.” In myth, Echo is the Oread nymph condemned by Hera to voice only others’ last words; after her love for Narcissus is spurned, she fades until only the echo remains - imagery that endows the name with themes of voice, longing, and resonance.
As a given name, Echo is attested in English-language use since the 19th century and has seen modest, largely feminine but essentially unisex, adoption in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Its status as a familiar word (and the NATO letter name for E) lends modern accessibility. Variants include transliterations Ēchō and Ekho; French Écho; and Modern Greek Ichó/Ηχώ. Related or stylistically similar choices include Harmony, Lyric, and Reverie. Echo resonates for parents seeking a crisp, poetic, two-syllable name.
