feminine · English origin
Pheobe is simply a common misspelling or variant spelling of Phoebe, an English form of the Greek name Phoibe, derived from the word phoibos meaning bright or pure. In Greek mythology, Phoibe was a Titaness associated with the moon and with the oracle at Delphi, and the name was later used in the New Testament for a deaconess praised by the apostle Paul. The standard form Phoebe has remained the dominant spelling throughout history, though Pheobe appears occasionally as an informal variant. Related forms include Phebe, a simplified spelling used in some historical and literary contexts.
