Objevte lidi se jménem Iris Funnell

Iris originates from the Greek word "ἶρις" (iris), meaning "rainbow." The word itself likely derives from the Proto-Indo-European root "*wei-," signifying "to turn, twist, or bend," reflecting the arc of a rainbow. In Greek, "iris" also denoted the colored circle around the pupil of the eye, drawing a visual parallel to the rainbow's vibrant spectrum. The adoption of "iris" as a personal name directly borrows from this Greek vocabulary, transferring the associated imagery of beauty and colorful light. In Greek mythology, Iris is the goddess of the rainbow, serving as a messenger between the gods and humans. The name's use as a given name is relatively modern, gaining popularity in English-speaking countries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with a broader revival of classical names. Its association with the flower of the same name, known for its diverse colors and elegant form, further contributed to its appeal. While variations are uncommon, some related names include Iridiana or Irida.
