- Thetis (the most celebrated Nereid) — Sea goddess and Nereid of Greek mythology, the silver-footed daughter of Nereus; mother of the hero Achilles, whom she dipped in the river Styx to make him invulnerable (leaving only his heel unprotected); her grief for her mortal son and her intervention among the gods in the Iliad give her one of the most emotionally complex roles in Greek epic tradition.
- Nerina (in Leopardi's poetry) — Figure addressed in Giacomo Leopardi's lyric poem Le Ricordanze (1829), one of the masterpieces of Italian Romantic verse; Nerina represents the poet's lost youth and vanished love in Recanati, and Leopardi's tender lines — 'O Nerina! E di te forse non odo / questi luoghi parlar?' — gave the name a permanent resonance in Italian literary culture as a name of memory, loss, and recovered beauty.
- Nerina Pallot — British singer-songwriter (born 1975, raised in Jersey, Channel Islands), known for her debut album Dear Frustrated Superstar (2001) and the platinum-selling Fires (2007), which contained the hit single 'Everybody's Gone to War'; her melodic, emotionally resonant songwriting has earned her a devoted international following and critical respect.
- Amphitrite (queen of the Nereids) — Nereid and sea goddess of Greek mythology, daughter of Nereus; she became the consort of Poseidon (Neptune) and queen of the seas; her image — often shown crowned and riding sea creatures — appeared on ancient Greek pottery, mosaics, and sculpture, and her name was given to a genus of polychaete worms and an asteroid (29 Amphitrite).
