Irais
Meaning of Irais
Irais constitutes a feminine anthroponym predominantly encountered within Hispanic onomastic traditions, etymologically traceable to the Greek Ἶρις (“rainbow”) via Latin Iris and subsequently adapted into Spanish morphological patterns; phonetically, it is articulated as [iˈra.is], featuring a high front vowel onset and paroxytone stress. Demographic data from the United States Social Security Administration reflect a consistently low incidence of the name among female newborns, with annual registrations oscillating between five and twenty-eight occurrences since the early 1980s, yielding a rank of 939th in 2024. The name retains semantic associations with the mythological Greek messenger of the rainbow, evoking themes of communication and connectivity, which contribute to its distinctive position within contemporary Anglo-American naming conventions.
