Themistoklis is Greek in Origin.

Themistoklis is the modern Greek form of Classical Greek Themistokles (Θεμιστοκλῆς), built from themis “divine law, right, custom” and kleos “glory, renown,” yielding the sense “glory of justice” or “renown through lawful order.” In modern Greek orthography it appears as Θεμιστοκλής; common short form is Themis.

It owes its prominence to Themistocles, the Athenian statesman and naval strategist who led the Greeks at Salamis in 480 BCE, which kept the name in educated use and later fueled a 19th‑century revival of classical names in Greece. Today it remains rare but recognizable in Greece and Cyprus, with occasional use in the diaspora. International variants include Themistocles (English/Latinized), Themistokles (scholarly), Temistocle (Italian/Romanian), Thémistocle or Themistocle (French), and Temístocles (Spanish and Portuguese). Related feminine Themis exists, though Themistoklis itself is distinctly masculine.
