Zeuxippe name meaning:

The name Zeuxippe is of ancient Greek origin, steeped in mythology and history. It is derived from two Greek elements: "zeuxis," meaning "yoking" or "joining," and "hippos," meaning "horse." Thus, Zeuxippe can be interpreted to mean "yoked horses" or figuratively, "joining of strength." This name carries connotations of power, unity, and cooperation, reflecting the significant role horses played in Greek culture as symbols of status, power, and mobility.

In Greek mythology, Zeuxippe is a name associated with several female characters, most notably as a Naiad, a water nymph, and the wife or companion of various figures. The most well-known Zeuxippe is perhaps the one who was the mother of Hippolytus, showcasing the name's connection to ancient tales and its resonance in stories of divine and heroic acts. Naming a girl Zeuxippe today might evoke a sense of connection to ancient wisdom, the natural world, and a rich tapestry of cultural heritage.
