Meaning and history
Ophélie is the French form of Ophelia. Ophelia derives from Greek opheleia, meaning “help,” “aid,” or “benefit.” Shakespeare gave the name enduring literary significance through Ophelia in Hamlet, whose love, distress, and death became frequent subjects in painting, music, and criticism. The accent marks standard French pronunciation. Notable bearers include French singer and actor Ophélie Winter and French footballer Ophélie Meilleroux. The literary use greatly expanded an otherwise rare ancient form.
