Etymology Spio has its origin in the Greek mythology, designating one of the Nereids, the 50 daughters of Nereus by Doris, goddesses of the sea, and patrons of sailors and fishermen. Spio (Speio, in Greek), was the nereid of the sea caves. [details]Grammatical gender Spio, named after a female mythological entity, must be feminine, and has almost invariably been treated as feminine (with Spio decoratus one exception). [details] |
