How this list was compiled: 227 names of nymphs of Greek myth, every one a figure of an ancient story or list and none made up. Read from English Wikipedia on October 2, 2026. Nereids and Oceanids follow the tables of names in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nereids and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Oceanids, which record which ancient writers (Homer, Hesiod, the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Apollodorus, Hyginus) name each one; a Nereid is listed if at least one of them names her, an Oceanid if at least two do, a name that both tables hold is listed once (so is Ocyrhoë, an Oceanid in the table and a nymph of Samos with an article of her own: she has the Samian card), and four Oceanids that the table gives under two spellings are left out. The Hyades and Hesperides follow the tables in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyades_(mythology) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesperides, and the eight hamadryad sisters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamadryad, which glosses each sister's name with a tree or its fruit. Every other nymph has an article of her own, linked from Wikipedia's categories of nymphs and naiads, and is listed only where the opening of that article calls her a nymph, a naiad, a dryad, an Oread, an Oceanid, a Nereid, one of the Pleiades or a nurse of an infant god; the line on her card is our own wording of what that opening says, and a script checked the key words of every such line against the article after this file was written. Left out: articles that list several figures under one name, nymphs of Roman myth, classes of nymphs with no names of their own, and figures of modern books, games and paintings. The six groups are kinds of nymph; a nymph that ancient writers place in two kinds is filed under one. Licence: Facts from English Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/); the selection and the wording of every line are ours.
