Spiros

Meaning of Spiros

The name Spiros (pronounced SPEE-rohs /ˈspiɾos/) is a traditionally male given name, a lyrical echo from Greek antiquity that marries earthly gravitas with spiritual longing, as if scribed in delicate kanji strokes on silk. Born of the Greek word for “spirit,” it conjures the steadfast resolve of early apostles, their tales drifting across centuries like cherry blossoms afloat in a summer rain. In New York, Spiros has surfaced in only a handful of newborn records each year—most often nestled in the 200s since the late 1960s—bestowing upon each child a discreet singularity akin to a lone lantern glowing on a misty Kyoto path. Though it has never scaled the peaks of popularity, its cool, understated endurance suggests a gentle resilience; a name that glides through modern registers with the serene confidence of a koi beneath a moonlit pond, inviting a wry smile from those attuned to its quiet poetry.
