Iyssis
A girl's name of Greek origin with 11 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Iyssis reads as a modern invention — a name that emerged in the 2000s and was likely coined by parents looking for something fresh rather than inherited.
The sharp, distinct quality of its ending — ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close — keeps the name compact and easy to pair with longer middle names or surnames.
Iyssis is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Iyssis is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a stylized variant of Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of magic and motherhood whose name means 'throne.'
EtymologyShow more
Iyssis appeared in SSA records in 2004, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly draw from global cultures, invent new names, and blend sounds to create something entirely original. Its Greek roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.
With only 11 recorded births, Iyssis has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
