Meaning

Means "weaver", and perhaps "duck", after the bird that legend says raised her.

Traits and personality

Under Pythagorean numerology, the initials G, P and Y map to the number 7: an introspective, analytical character, with a philosophical and spiritual bent. These are traditional readings, not a rule: everyone ends up becoming who they choose to be, whatever name they carry.
