Meaning & Symbolism

The name Harmony comes from the Greek word 'harmonia', meaning 'agreement, concord of sounds'. In Greek mythology, Harmonia was the goddess of harmony and concord, the daughter of Ares (war) and Aphrodite (love), symbolizing the perfect balance between opposing forces. The name thus represents not just musical consonance but also social and internal peace, balance, and unity.

Engels
Adopted as a 'virtue name' by the Puritans in the 17th century, though it was rarer than names like Faith or Hope. It saw a major resurgence in the late 20th century.

Its popularity has steadily grown since the late 1990s in the United States, becoming a mainstream choice.
