Euris is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, possibly derived from the Greek Eurus, the god of the east or southeast wind in Greek mythology. Alternatively, it may relate to euros, meaning 'wide' or 'broad.' Wind gods held a place of genuine reverence in Greek cosmology, making Euris a name with mythological depth.
Compact and unusual, Euris sounds both ancient and oddly modern — a short name that carries the weight of classical mythology without effort.
