Meaning & History
This name is used in the book The Flowers, by Alice Walker. This name could have been a shortened form of the words myopic or myopathy, in which both are derived from Latin myopia meaning "near-sightedness." The Latin word is ultimately derived from myops meaning "near-sighted" (from myein meaning "to shut" combined with ops meaning "eye.")
