(1) Recorded in several forms including Pim, Pimm, Pimme, Pym, and Pymm, this is a surname which at various times has been prominent in the history of England. The name itself is of medieval English (Anglo-Saxon) origin. It derives from the medieval female given name, 'Pymme/Pymma' (from ‘Phemie’) which is a shortened/nickname or pet form of ‘εϋφημα’ (Euphemia/Eufemia), a Greek name, introduced into Europe by the returning Crusaders of the 11th century. The surname Pym referred to the son of Euphemia which belongs to the category of patronymic surnames. Composed of the elements 'eu', meaning 'well', and 'phenai' meaning ‘to speak’, the name was adopted by Christians, who used it in the sense of 'praise God' or 'good repute’ (well-spoken-of or to speak well of). This Greek word is found at Philippians 4:8
(B) This name derives from the Ancient Greek name “Euphēmía (Εὐφημία) Euphḗmios (Εὐφήμιος)”, composed of two elements: “eû (εὖ)” (well) plus “phēmí (φημί)” (speak, say, agree, affirm, assert). In turn, the name means “one who speaks well (good speech)”. The name can also be interpreted as "the one we are talking about right.

Get the The Pylon mug.It’s rare to see a wild srgpython. Some don’t even believe they’re real and it’s just a myth, but ones that claimed to see him have confirmed it’s a rare sighting. It’s been written in scrolls and told for centuries that if you spot one, to know you’ll have good luck for 15 years. Some say they compare it to a “godly figure” but he simply just walks on the beat. It’s said when he walks they follow.
“Jenna swears she spotted an srg python last week with her bestfriends, bestfriend but she’s definitely lying”

Unfortunately this had the side effect of making him fall into love with his statue. Aphrodite was moved by this mans efforts, and granted him the gift of his hearts desire. This brought his statue to life so that he and the statue could live happily ever after!
