ArchivesRe: Obelia
in reply to a message by LullabyMoon11
Hi there!
The closest I can think of is the Greek word obelias (ὀβελίας) meaning skewer. The word obelisk is certainly a cognate of that.
I have seen no evidence however that this was ever used as a personal name. Some children are indeed pricks, but would you ever name your kid thus?
