What is the meaning of the name Hebe ?

The baby name Hebe is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced HEE-bee (IPA: /ˈhiː.biː/).

Hebe is Greek in Origin.

Rooted in Ancient Greek, Hebe (Ἥβη) means “youth” or “prime of life,” from the noun hēbē. In mythology, Hebe is the daughter of Zeus and Hera, the cupbearer of the gods, and later the immortal wife of Heracles - an emblem of renewal and vitality. The plant genus Hebe (now often Veronica) also commemorates her, reinforcing the name’s associations with freshness and bloom.

The name appeared in Britain and the United States during the Neoclassical revival of the 18th–19th centuries, then waned in the 20th, while remaining known in Romance and Hellenic cultures. International variants include Hébé (French), Ebe (Italian), and Ήβη rendered Ivi/Evi (Modern Greek); Spanish and Portuguese use Hebe unchanged (cf. Brazilian entertainer Hebe Camargo). English pronunciation is HEE-bee. Possible nicknames are Bee and Evie (via the Greek form). Related mythic counterpart: the Roman Juventas.
