Penelope

From Greek, the name Penelope is of uncertain etymology, though it is often connected to the Greek word pēnē, meaning thread or weft of a loom, or possibly to pēnelopē, the name of a type of duck. In Greek mythology, Penelope was the faithful wife of Odysseus, celebrated in Homer's Odyssey for her cleverness in unraveling her weaving each night to delay suitors during her husband's long absence. The name has been used in the English-speaking world since at least the 16th century, bolstered by the enduring popularity of the Homeric legend. French Pénélope and Spanish and Portuguese Penélope are the primary Romance-language equivalents.
