What Does the Name Eriss Mean?
Eriss has no established meaning: there is no well-attested etymology for it in the naming traditions of Europe or the Mediterranean, and no source language or parent name can be identified for it. The spelling invites comparison with the Greek name Eris (Ἔρις), the personified force of strife and discord in Greek myth, whose name comes from the Greek noun eris, "strife, quarrel." A similar look, however, is not evidence of a shared origin, and no documented link connects Eriss to Eris. The Welsh feminine name Eirys, built on Welsh eira, "snow," is another similar-sounding name with a different background and no documented connection. Because no origin is documented, the meaning of Eriss remains uncertain.
