Pinelopi
A Greek name almost no Pole has met: just 15 women carry it, and no girl has been given it this century. It's a form of Penelope, from the Greek for "weaver".

What Pinelopi means
Where Pinelopi comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Pinelopi begins in Greek, in the word pēnē, the thread wound onto a weaver's bobbin. From that root the name keeps one job. It means weaver.
The most famous bearer makes the meaning literal. In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope weaves a burial shroud by day and pulls the threads loose each night, holding off the suitors who crowd her house while Odysseus stays lost at sea. Readers have kept her name for that patience and that loom.
In Polish paperwork the variant penelopa turns up, the same name with a plainer ending. Read a class register in a Polish school and Pinelopi sits a little apart from the Zuzannas and Amelias around it. The Greek origin stays visible in the spelling, and the sense underneath it does not move: weaver.
