as a First Name
From the name (a derivative of Greek gē ‘earth’) borne in classical mythology by the primeval goddess of the earth, who gave birth to Ouranos (‘sky’) and had children by him: Okeanos (‘sea’), Kronos (‘time’), and the Titans. It has been used as a modern first name since the popularization of James Lovelock's conception of the whole earthly ecosystem as a living self-regulating entity under this name.
