A name that means "greek goddess of fortune".

Tyche (Τύχη) is the Greek goddess of fortune, chance, and prosperity — daughter of Zeus or Oceanus depending on tradition. Each ancient city had its own Tyche depicting its specific fortune; the Tyche of Antioch (4th c. BCE) is one of the most famous statues of antiquity.
