Origin and meaning of Nefeli
Nefeli comes from the Greek nephélē (νεφέλη), 'cloud'. In Greek mythology, Nephele was a cloud shaped by Zeus in Hera's likeness, mother of Phrixus and Helle in the myth of the golden fleece. The name has a light, ethereal sound, valued in modern Greece for its poetic originality and its evocation of the sky's lightness, while remaining pleasantly uncommon.
