Oenone

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Latin Oenōnē, from Ancient Greek Οἰνώνη (Oinṓnē).

proper noun Œnone

Greek The first wife of Paris of Troy, whom he abandoned for Helen. They went to that fair villa by the sea; and pleasantly did many a morn pass in the large hall, on whose frescoed walls was painted the story of Œnone, she whom the Trojan prince left, only to return and die at her feet.
rare A female given name from Ancient Greek. 'Dinah and Oenone Lendrim.' 'I-now-ny? What the fuck kind of name's that?' 'Greek mythological.' Sam smiled, knowing Gibbs would assume he knew this because his father was Greek. 'She's Nonie for all practical purposes. She and her sister Dinah are the children of Sharon Lendrim.'
