What is the meaning of the name Orithyie ?

Orithyie is Greek in Origin.

Orithyie is a rare learned form of the Ancient Greek name Oreithyia (Ὠρείθυια), probably from oros/oreios “mountain” and thýō “to rush, rage,” yielding the evocative sense “she who rushes in the mountains” or “mountain-storming.” The spelling with -yie reflects older attempts to render the Greek -yia ending and keeps a distinctly classical flavor; Orithyie is thus an archaizing transliteration rather than a modern Greek form.

In myth the name is borne by an Athenian princess, daughter of Erechtheus, carried off by the North Wind Boreas and mother of the winged Argonauts Zetes and Calais; Plato’s Phaedrus and Herodotus both allude to her. Another bearer is an Amazon queen in later traditions. As a given name it has seen little real-world use beyond scholarly and neo-classical circles. Established variants include Oreithyia, Orithyia, Orythia, and Orithia.
