Alethea is an English-language female first name derived from the Ancient Greek feminine noun ἀλήθεια, alḗtheia, 'truth'. Aletheia was the personification of truth in Greek philosophy. Alethea was not in use as a name prior to the 1500s, and likely originated when Puritans started using it as a virtue name.[1][2][3]
The Greek word aletheia was translated into English as truth in reference to the sanctity of God's word in John 17:17 in the King James Version of the New Testament.[4][better source needed]
