Argi is a succinct Basque given name meaning "light, brightness, and clarity," drawn from the everyday Basque noun argi. Used as a unisex choice in Euskadi and Navarre, it evokes daylight and lucidity. In a different etymological stream, Argi also functions in Greek as a pet form of Argyro (female) or Argyris/Argyrios (male), all from Greek argyros "silver," extending the name’s sense of shining or gleaming.

Modern usage is most visible from the late 20th century onward, coinciding with the revival of indigenous Basque names; earlier attestations are rarer and often informal. Related forms include Argia ("the light" in Basque), Argiñe (feminine), and Argider (masculine "bearer of light"), while in Greek the cognates are Argyro, Argyris, and Argyrios. Argi’s compact shape and positive imagery make it travel well across languages without losing its core meaning.
