Meaning and background
The story behind Selene
Selene has a direct Greek mythological history: Selene is the personification and goddess of the Moon, and the Greek word itself means moon. The two senses reinforce one another, but they need not imply anything about a pet’s colouring or temperament. Its name has multiple recognised pronunciations in English. Unlike a loose nature-name interpretation, this moon connection is firmly supported by a specialist personal-name source.
