Celebrate every day of baby’s blossoming journey with Filis, a feminine name of Greek origin. A respelling of the classical name Phyllis, Filis inherits the meanings “greenery” and “foliage” and lends a contemporary flair to an ancient appellation. Phyllis is deeply linked to a tragic maiden from Greek mythology who transformed into an almond tree soon after her death. Short and sweet Filis offers a degree of separation from this sad tale while remaining elegant and nature-infused for your little sapling.
