Lampis

The name Lampis derives from the Ancient Greek word 'lampas' (λαμπάς), meaning 'torch' or 'light'. It was used in antiquity for both males and females, though perhaps more commonly for males. The association with light and radiance made it a positive and auspicious name. Its usage has been sporadic throughout history, primarily remaining within Greek-speaking regions.

In modern times, 'Lampis' is a rare name, sometimes appearing as a surname or a given name, especially in Greece. Its connection to light gives it a timeless and evocative quality, though it has not achieved widespread international popularity.
