Meaning & History
Possibly intended to be a feminine form of AENEAS, or possibly taken from the Latin word aēneus meaning "made of copper, made of bronze; brazen" (feminine aēnea), a derivative of aes "copper, bronze". This was used by the author Dan Simmons in his 'Hyperion' series of science fiction novels, where it belongs to a character who first appears in 1996.
