Iphinome is Greek in Origin.

Iphinome is a rare Hellenic feminine name, likely a learned variant of the ancient Greek Iphinoe (Ἰφινόη). Its elements combine iphios, “strong, mighty,” with noē/noos, “mind, understanding,” yielding the sense “strong‑minded” or “of resolute understanding.” The ending -nome appears in later spellings through confusion with Greek -nomē (“distribution, order; pasture”) and Latinized habits, but the core meaning remains tied to intellect and strength.

Classical sources mention bearers named Iphinoe among minor mythic figures - one of the Danaids, and a daughter of King Proetus whom the seer Melampus cured - helping anchor the name in the mythological tradition, though never in wide civic use. After antiquity it virtually disappeared, resurfacing in Renaissance and 19th‑century classicizing texts. Variant forms include Iphinoe, Iphinoë (with diaeresis), Ifinoe (modern transliteration), and the scholarly Iphinome; related names are Iphigenia and Iphimedeia. Nicknames might include Iphi or Nomi.
