Ophelianoun
A female given name from Ancient Greek
I lov’d Ophelia: forty thousand brothers // Could not, with all their quantity of love, // Make up my sum.
Ophelianoun
A moon of Uranus, named after the character in Hamlet.
Etymology: Borrowed from Italian Ofelia, coined by the poet Jacopo Sannazaro in his poem Arcadia (1504), probably from the Ancient Greek ὠφέλειᾰ (ōphéleia, " help, aid, succour"). The name was used by William Shakespeare for the ill-fated love interest of Hamlet.

Examples of Ophelia in a Sentence
I will not go so far as to say that to construct a history of thought without profound study of the mathematical ideas of successive epochs is like omitting Hamlet from the play which is named after him. . . But it is certainly analogous to cutting out the part of Ophelia. This simile is singularly exact. For Ophelia is quite essential to the play, she is very charming-- and a little mad.
Said Hamlet to Ophelia, I'll draw a sketch of thee. What kind of pencil shall I use? 2B or not 2B?
