Brazilian Portuguese form of APOLLONIA.

	APOLLONIA   female   Ancient Greek, Italian Feminine form of APOLLONIOS. This was the name of a 3rd-century saint and martyr from Alexandria.
		APOLLONIOS   male   Ancient Greek From an ancient Greek personal name which was derived from the name of the Greek god APOLLO. It was borne by a Greek poet of the 3rd century BC. Several saints have also had this name.
			APOLLO   male   Greek Mythology (Latinized) From Greek Απολλων (Apollon), which is of unknown meaning, though perhaps related to Indo-European *apelo "strength". Another theory states that Apollo can be equated with Appaliunas, an Anatolian god whose name possibly means "father lion" or "father light". The Greeks later associated Apollo's name with the Greek verb απολλυμι (apollymi) meaning "to destroy". In Greek mythology Apollo was the son of Zeus and Leto and the twin of Artemis. He was the god of prophecy, medicine, music, art, law, beauty, and wisdom. Later he also became the god of the sun and light.
