I found it while researching for a paper, it belongs to a psych professor. I've only found one other usage of it on someone with a Greek surname but can't find anything else. It deffos sounds Greek.I wonder what it means! All I can think of is polemicist...ॐ मणिपद्मे हूं

I'd guess it's a variant of Polymnia, which I prefer. I love the meaning of that.It's interesting. I don't think I'd hate being named it, but I'd probably go by Nia.

Polymnia is a lovely name. I think it’s a good guess that this is a variant of that.

Oh pfff!!! Thank you. I was trying to find it and I kept thinking of how similar it is to Polyxena but for some reason never thought to change the the e to a y.That is a really cool meaning!

To me it sounds like polemic.. which is basically a fancy way of saying op ed / debateCould work in a fantasy/scifi setting?

Lol no need to say sorry. A lot of old Greek names are reminiscent of medical/scientific words just cuz Greek tends to be the root of most of these words. I think Stamatia sounds particularly medical.
