irys is Greek in Origin.
Irys is a modern respelling of Iris, from Greek Iris meaning "rainbow" and the name of the messenger goddess. By extension it lends the botanical iris its name. As a given name it rose with 19th-century flower-name fashions in the English-speaking world, saw steady use into the early 20th century, and has revived in recent decades. The y-formed Irys echoes Polish orthography, where irys denotes the iris flower, and appears as a rare, contemporary choice across Europe.
Meaning centers on "rainbow" and the iris flower, symbolizing hope, eloquence, and faith; associations also include the eye's iris. Common variants: Iris (English, German, Dutch, Spanish), Iris with accent as Íris (Portuguese, Icelandic), Írisz or Irisz (Hungarian), Iride (Italian), and modern elaborations like Irisa or Irissa. Nicknames include Iri, Ris, and Risa. Pronunciation typically mirrors Iris: EYE-ris in English or EE-rees in Romance languages, with Irys retaining the same sounds.
