-Shipping Name Origin
"PhaesporiaShipping" was coined sometime between 09 July[Notes 1] and 04 November 2013.[Notes 2]
Phaesporia is a title Artemis has in Greek mythology and translates to "light bringer." It may be a reference to Cynthia's name, (which already pulls from Artemis), and Diantha's, which is also Greek in origin. It may also be a play on moonlight (Cynthia) reflecting off of Diantha (who's associated with the rock/fairy Diancie, who itself is covered in pink gemstones.)
