Meaning & origin
Eryss is a modern name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 2010, a period when creative spellings of existing names became increasingly popular. Its exact meaning is uncertain, but it likely draws from Eris or Iris. The name reached its peak popularity in 2021, after which its use began to decline. Despite its short history, Eryss has a distinctive sound and appearance, appealing to parents seeking a unique yet familiar-sounding name. With approximately 1 in 200,908 girls receiving the name in 2025, it remains a rare choice, and its trajectory indicates a gentle fall from its 2021 peak. No U.S. states recorded it as a top name, consistent with its rarity nationwide.
Eryss is a modern coinage, likely a respelling of Eris, the name of the Greek goddess of discord, or of Iris, the goddess of the rainbow. The double 's' gives it a fashionable, distinctive look. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2010 and has seen modest use since.
