Eryss

US Popularity Rank: 11571

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Goddess of discord, strife, discord

Eryss is a girl’s name of Greek origin that might be a match for a little mind of mischief. The name Eryss is a tempting twist on Eris, meaning “strife” or “discord,” which is also the name adorned by the Greek deity Eris who delighted in conflict and carnage. As legend of Ancient Hellas has it, Eris was the only goddess unwelcomed to the wedding celebration of Peleus and Thetis. And taking revenge by the reins, she caused a rivalry that would trigger the Trojan War. Baby may not be as teasing, but if they like to trick more than treat, a name like Eryss can’t be beat!
