Phylomyna is Greek in Origin.

Phylomyna is a rare, modern twist on Philomena, a name of Greek origin built from philos (love, friend) and menos (strength, spirit), yielding the sense lover of strength or friend of courage. The updated spelling swaps i for y and replaces -mena with -myna, giving a lyrical look while preserving the ancient core meaning.

Usage has been sporadic, most often as an individualistic variant in English-speaking records influenced by the 19th-century popularity of Saint Philomena. Related forms include Philomena (standard English), Filomena (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Philomène (French), and the older spellings Philomene and Philomina; it also brushes against, but is distinct from, the mythic name Philomela. Common short forms are Mina, Mena, Myna, Philo, and Phyl. Despite the visual echo, the -myna ending here is stylistic and not etymologically related to the myna bird.
