In Greek mythology, Amymone (Ancient Greek: Αμυμωνη means the "blameless" one) was a daughter of Danaus, king of Libya and Europe, a queen. ... The author of the Bibliotheca, in his list of names for the Danaids, does mention both Hypermnestra and Amymone, however (Library 2.1.5).
[ syll. a-myn-ta, am-y-nta ] The baby girl name Amynta is pronounced AEM-NTAH †. Amynta has its origins in the Old Greek language and it is used largely in English. Amynta is a variant transcription of Aminta (English and Italian). Amynta is uncommon as a baby name for girls.
Amyntas is the name of several prominent Greek and Hellenistic men. The word is derived from Greek "amyntor" meaning "defender".
