Question
I once read (I cannot remember where) an ancient Greek word for "no sadness" or "no sorrow", and it struck me as a beautiful word, and also a perfect name for a baby girl. I was hoping you'd be able to tell me what it is, as I'm still kicking myself for not immediately writing it down.  

Answer
Hello,

first of all, sorry for the delay in replying, but AllExperts did not work.

As for your question, the only Greek  name which cross my mind is the following:

-Hilaria, derived from Greek “hilaros “(see also Latin “Hilaria”) meaning "cheerful”, i.e. “without sadness(sorrow)”.

Best,
Maria
