“Strife, discord”

From the Ancient Greek word for 'strife' or 'discord'. In Greek mythology, Eris was the goddess of discord, said to be the sister and companion of Ares, the god of war. The name was later given to a dwarf planet in the outer solar system.

How it ages.

Short and striking: a mythological name with a bold, modern edge that stands out without being unrecognizable.

The cultural moment.

Very rare as a given name; carried a handful of American girls in the early twentieth century and known today mainly through Greek mythology and the dwarf planet named after the goddess.
