Greek myth name of the son of Eos. He was the masculine personification of the "evening star."





ARTEMIS –Greek moon goddess





NEOMA — Greek, meaning new moon








CYNTHIA — Greek, related to moon goddess Artemis


DELIA — another epithet of Greek moon goddess Aretemis





NYX — Greek, means night; name of the Greek goddess of the night





EREBOS (Ἔρεβος): Greek name, probably borrowed from Hebrew erebh or Akkadian erebu ("sunset, evening"), hence "darkness." In mythology, this is the name of the offspring of Chaos, brother of Nyx, and father of Æther. He is the personification of primordial darkness. In later legends Erebos became the name of a place in Hades, the underworld.








Hope this helps!!
