The story behind the name
Possibly derived from the Greek names Mneme, Mnemon, and Mnemosyne, this distinctive choice could mean "memory" or "unforgetting, mindful". Associated with a Titan Goddess and one of the three Greek muses, the name would be said as MNEH-mo in Ancient Greek but as NIM-o in English.
