Eiress
A girl's name of Greek origin with 88 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 88 babies have been named Eiress in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
In the most recent SSA release, Eiress ranks #6683 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Eiress is a girl's baby name of American origin, a creative phonetic spelling of Iris — from the Greek goddess of the rainbow and the flower, from the Greek iris meaning 'rainbow.' The Ei- opening and double-s give it a more distinctive visual identity.
Eiress takes the rainbow goddess's luminous name and makes it unmistakably personal. The spelling variation transforms the classic floral-mythological name into something that looks like no one else's.
EtymologyShow more
Eiress first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 2017. A twenty-first-century entry, Eiress belongs to the newest generation of American names — often coined, blended, or borrowed from international sources.
Its Greek classification suggests a path from greek linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
