Echo Meaning

Means "echo" from the word for the repeating reflected sound, which derives from Greek ηχη (eche) "sound". In Greek mythology Echo was a nymph given a speech impediment by Hera, so that she could only repeat what others said. She fell in love with Narcissus, but her love was not returned, and she pined away until nothing remained of her except her voice. Echo originates in Greek language and means "woman of sound". In Greek mythology, Echo was a mountain nymph who was in love with her voice and could sing and play many musical instruments. Derived from that, echo is a reflection of sound in acoustics. As a feminine given name it is rather rare in the United States.
