What Does the Name Kairis Mean?
Kairis has no securely established meaning or language of origin. It is not clearly a traditional given name in any one language. A similar Lithuanian surname, Kairys (sometimes written Kairis in English), derives from Lithuanian kairys, "left-handed," from kairė, "left." A Greek surname Kairis (Καΐρης) also exists; it is sometimes linked to Greek kairos (καιρός), "time" or "opportunity," but that derivation is not established. The similarity of the Lithuanian and Greek forms should not be taken as evidence that they share an origin.
