What does the name Hope mean in Greek?

The name Hope doesn't have a direct equivalent in ancient Greek in the way that, say, "Alexander" does. There wasn't a single, common Greek name meaning "Hope". However, the concept of hope was expressed through words like:

* ελπίς (elpis): This is the closest ancient Greek word to the concept of hope. While not a name itself, it's the word that would be used to describe the feeling or concept.
