Philys

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Greenery, foliage

Philys is a girl’s name of Greek origin, meaning “greenery” or “foliage.” Inspired by the name Phyllis, Philys holds a legend in its letters. In Greek mythology, Phyllis was the wife of Demophon, King of Athens. Devoted to his duties as a ruler, Demophon returned to Athens from Thrace, leaving his spouse behind to perish in her sorrow. From her burial ground, a big, beautiful almond tree flourished, and in the same way, your Philys might learn to fight their battles the best they can, knowing they'll grow from each and every one of them.
