Message: "Thisbe" - Behind the Name

Thisbe

I was told long ago that Thisbe is a Greek name that means "where the doves live," that it is feminine, and that its original spelling is Thisbe pronounced THIZ-bee.

Lately, I am wondering if I am incorrect. I've seen it spelled as Tisbe and Thisby. I've also seen it written that Thisby is a masculine name.

Can someone here please set me straight on this?

Thanks!

#Thisbe

•The original pronuncation is rather Tiz-Bé or Tiz-Beh. (nt) · Andria · 3/12/2005, 2:39 PM
