What is the meaning of the Greek name Nyleptha?

Sorry no Nyleptha in Greek names registry; the closest I came is--Phthia (Greek: 桅胃委伪 or 桅胃委畏 transliterations:, modern: Fthii, ancient: Phth铆膿) is an ancient region of Greece, at the area of Phthiotis Prefecture, on the both sides of Othrys mountain. It was the homeland of the Myrmidones tribe, who took part in the Trojan War under Achilles. I hope it helps.

What is the meaning of the Greek name Nyleptha?
google it.
Reply:I have never come across that name except in an Allan Quatermain book. I'm not sure it has an actual Greek meaning.
Reply:I found a quote concerning that name the other day while searching for something else... it doesn't have the meaning, per say, but perhaps this will help a bit?





"Much like Ayesha's resemblance to the statue of Truth, the fairer of the sisters, Nyleptha, is compared to her ancestor's most famous female statue - an inspiring angel who revealed to the sculptor his greatest architectural vision."





She is also quoted as "the blonde, blue-eyed good queen"... a Queen of the Zu-Vendi, and "a woman of dazzling fairness".
