Meaning & History
Feminine form of Astynomos. Alternatively, the second element could be derived from the related Greek words νομός (nomós) meaning "district", from νέμω (nemo) meaning "I divide, I distribute", or from νομή (nome) meaning "a pasture, a grazing" or "spreading, multiplication." This is the name of several women in Greek mythology, including the mother of Calydon by Ares, a woman commonly called Chryseis in the Iliad of Homer, and one of the children of Niobe (a Niobid).
