Shelley Posted July 17, 2015 at 11:36 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 at 11:36 AM There is a Daphne in English but no Dephne, did you spell it correctly? It not really a Chinese name that I have ever heard. If you type Daphne into a search engine you get lots of results, Dephne just gets the response of "did you mean Daphne?"

edelweis Posted July 17, 2015 at 06:57 PM Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 at 06:57 PM It is not necessarily meant to be an English name.Chinese people can choose "Western" first names in whatever culture they have an interest in.Dephne could be a variant of Daphne in any kind of language, and/or the name of a celebrity, and/or a misspelling.Google actually gives lots of results for Dephne.Especially Dephne Madyara, and Turkish restaurants, and people with a Chinese last name.Actually the Turkish first name Defne is supposed to come from Daphne (different spelling though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Ahab Posted July 17, 2015 at 07:37 PM Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 at 07:37 PM Turkish folks call it as Defne instead of Dephne. f has a pronounciation like ph. The meaning of Defne is a plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
