Meaning & History

From the Greek word γόργυρα (gorgyra) which referred to an underground sewer or drain, also used as a dungeon. Gorgyra, also called Orphne, was a nymph goddess of the Underworld (Hades) and the wife of the potamos (river-god) Acheron in Greek mythology. She was the mother of the daimon Askalaphos, who was transformed into a screech owl after preventing the goddess Persephone from leaving the Underworld forever.
