Argyri is Greek in Origin.
Argyri is a Greek feminine given name (Αργυρή) from argyros, "silver," cognate with Latin argentum, evoking brightness, worth, and purity. It belongs to a name cluster with masculine Argyris/Argyrios and Argyros. Feminine variants include Argyro/Argyró (Αργυρώ), the learned Argyre, and the affectionate Argyroula; spellings may appear as Argyri or Argiri in transliteration. Related surnames include Argyros and Argyriou.
The element is attested since antiquity and gained prominence in Byzantine onomastics (e.g., the Argyros family). As a given name, it drew devotional support from the New Martyr Saint Argyre of Constantinople (18th century), sustaining usage in Greek Orthodox communities and the diaspora. Argyri saw steady 19th-20th-century use, sometimes among silversmithing families, and remains uncommon today while retaining clear Greek heritage and the auspicious, "silver-bright" meaning.
Argyri is an uncommon pick. Our records hold just 13 recorded uses, spread over 2 countries.
