Themyscira

Greek place name

Themyscira Origin and Meaning

The name Themyscira is a girl's name .

According to legend -- and, crucially, the Wonder Woman comics and movies -- Themyscira is the home of the Amazons, a mythical race of powerful female warriors. As depicted in the DC comics, Themyscira is a lush utopian island in the middle of a vast ocean. It was also the name of a real town in the Ancient Greek world, on the southern coast of the Black Sea in modern-day Turkey.

While Themyscira isn't practically workable as a first name for an actual girl, it might make a cool middle name, or even proper name with Thea as nickname, for the daughter of big Wonder Woman fans.
