Argolis is Greek in Origin.

Argolis is a toponymic given name drawn from Ancient Greek Ἀργολίς (Argolís), the term for the “land of Argos,” the northeastern Peloponnesian region that includes Argos, Mycenae, and Nauplion. Formed from Argos plus the feminine regional suffix -is, it conveys “Argive land” or “of Argos”; through the debated root of Argos, it can also suggest “bright” or “shining plain.” In Modern Greek the region is Αργολίδα (Argolída), while Latinized and English usage typically preserves Argolis.

As a personal name it is very rare, surfacing occasionally from the late 19th century among classicist circles and Greek diaspora families who favor place-derived names. The feminine -is ending leads to more use for girls, though it can read unisex in English. Variants and related forms include Argolís (accented), Argolida/Argolída, Argolid (scholarly English), Argolide (French), with Argo or Argos plausible nicknames.
