Thargélia

Thargélia was an ancient Greek festival held in Athens in honor of Apollo and Artemis, typically in late May or early June. It was a spring festival celebrating the first fruits of the harvest and involved rituals of purification and atonement for the city. The festival included a procession, offerings of first fruits, and the expulsion of two scapegoats (pharmakoi) from the city, who were believed to carry away its sins and misfortunes. While not a personal name in ancient times, its evocative nature and connection to renewal and harvest make it a unique and meaningful choice in modern usage.

As a modern given name, 'Thargélia' is exceedingly rare. Its adoption would likely be by those with a deep appreciation for classical antiquity, Greek mythology, or a desire for a name with a profound, symbolic meaning related to new beginnings, purification, and abundance. Its unisex classification stems from its origin as a festival name rather than a name traditionally assigned to a specific gender.
