Penelope come from the Greek root “pene” and means weaver. It is also related to the Greek word 'penelops,' which is a type of duck. The most common nickname is Penny.

In Greek mythology, Penelope was the wife of Odysseus who waited for him to return to her for twenty years. She avoided remarriage by claiming she would not remarry until she had completed her father-in-law's funeral shroud; every night, she unraveled part of the shroud so that the project would take a very long time. The name has come to signify a loyal, capable, and clever woman.
