A name that means "princess (aeneas's first wife)".

Creusa (Κρέουσα) is the Greek word for "princess" or "queen." Multiple Greek-Roman princesses bore the name — most notably Aeneas's Trojan first wife, who was lost during the fall of Troy and appeared to him as a ghost predicting his Italian destiny.

Featured in Virgil's Aeneid Book II.

Where Creusa stands.

Creusa does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
