Astrophel

Astrophel is a romantic and imaginative name, meaning 'star lover' in Greek. It gained some fame through Sir Philip Sidney's sonnet sequence 'Astrophel and Stella', which gives it a poetic and literary aura. This name is a rare gem in the realm of baby names, with its musical quality and suggestion of an affinity with the cosmos. It doesn't lend itself easily to nicknames, but its lyrical beauty needs little alteration. It's perfect for parents who are literary aficionados or love the stars.
