Pheebie Origin and Meaning

The name Pheebie is a girl's name.

Pheebie is a feminine name that serves as an alternative spelling of Phoebe. While Phoebe derives from Greek mythology meaning 'bright' or 'pure,' this phonetic variation gives the classic name a more whimsical, modern twist. The unusual spelling maintains the familiar pronunciation but creates a distinctive visual identity. Pheebie remains uncommon compared to the traditional Phoebe spelling, which has experienced various popularity waves throughout history. This variation might appeal to parents who appreciate the mythological connections and melodic sound of Phoebe but desire something more unique on paper. The doubled 'ee' creates a playful quality that some may associate with cheerfulness and individuality.
