Merope Forename Definition:
A Greek name, meaning: One of the seven daughters of King Atlas, who according to Grecian mythology after death were placed in the heavens forming the constellation of the Pleiades or Little Dipper. All of the seven except Merope had immortal gods for their suitors, but because she, obeying her own heart’s dictates, married a mortal, King Sisyphus of Corinth, she lost caste and Merope’s star is the one that twinkles and seems for a moment extinguished.
