Origin:

Name Root:
aretḗ
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “aretḗ (ᾰ̓ρετή),” meaning “goodness, excellence, manliness, prowess, rank, valor, virtue, character, reputation, glory, fame, dignity, the distinction.” Arete, in its primary sense, means excellence of any kind. In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of superiority was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one’s full potential. In Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, “aretḗ” is used mainly to describe heroes and nobles and their mobile ability, with particular reference to strength and courage, but not limited to this. Penelope’s arete, for example, relates to co-operation, for which Agamemnon praises her. Aretías is also one of Giresun Island's ancient names, a small island on the southeastern coast of the Black Sea. In Greek mythology, Aretos was one of the skillful heroes who joined Priamo in the Trojan War.

The ninth chakra is an interesting chakra in that it is in this chakra that all the Christ abilities lie dormant, waiting to be released and used in the outer and inner worlds.
