Portia

Rooted in Latin, Portia is an elegant name that may seem surprising with its literal meaning of 'pig'. However, the name carries historical and literary significance, most notably through its association with Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice', where Portia is a witty and intelligent heroine. Contemporary pop culture recognizes Portia through figures like actress Portia de Rossi, adding to its modern charm. Rare yet stylish, Portia provides an air of sophistication with an intellectual edge.
