Iphigenie is the German form of Īphigéneia, a Greek name for girls firmly rooted in mythology. The daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, Iphigeneia was the ill-fated princess of Mycenae whose father sacrificed her to the goddess Artemis in order to protect his fleet. In Euripides' play, Iphigeneia in Tauris, Iphigeneia is saved by Artemis and made a priestess. Iphigenie means “strong-born,” ideal for your brave little one destined for greatness.
