Erys

Erys is a name derived directly from the Greek word 'Eris' (Ἔρις), which means 'strife' or 'discord'. In Greek mythology, Eris is the goddess of discord, often depicted as a mischievous and troublesome figure. She is famously known for instigating the Trojan War by throwing the Golden Apple of Discord among the goddesses at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, leading to the judgment of Paris.

The name 'Erys' is a less common variant or Anglicized spelling of 'Eris'. While the mythological figure is ancient, the use of 'Erys' as a given name is relatively modern and rare, often chosen for its unique sound and connection to classical mythology, despite the negative connotations of its meaning. It has not seen widespread adoption and remains an uncommon choice.
