Despina

Despina is a feminine name for the tiniest and (sometimes) most demanding resident of your home. As the modern Greek form of Despoina, Despina stems from the Greek words dem, meaning "home," and pótnia, meaning "mistress" or "lady," giving it the translations "mistress of the house" or "lady of the house." Though they may keep you busy with requests for milk, cuddles, and lullabies in their first weeks and months, sweet Despina's joy and laughter will be your greatest reward.
