Foteini is from the Greek Φωτεινή (Foteiní — bright, luminous) — from Greek phōs (light). Foteini is one of the Greek feminine names — central to traditional Greek Orthodox heritage. Greek feminine name reflecting Greek Orthodox heritage.
Foteini 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.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Foteini reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
