Pene

Pene is an English name functioning as a short form of Penelope, which derives from the ancient Greek name Penelopeia. The Greek root is uncertain, though it may relate to pēnē, meaning thread or weft on a loom, fitting the mythological Penelope of Homer's Odyssey, who famously wove and unravelled a shroud to delay her suitors. As a standalone given name, Pene remains rare but follows the broader tradition of clipping longer classical names for everyday use. Related forms include Penny and Nell, as well as the full name Penelope.
