the above address goes to a henry wadsworth longfellow poem done in esperato, in it, it lists a river called iradis.

i found it going thru dogpile.com

Both my parents are Peruvians as am I. My name is very unique but I have no clue what it means. I would really like to know. HELP

Here are some long-shot possibilities:
Iradis may be derived....
1...from "Irad", an obsolete word registered in the OED meaning "prepared, made ready, instructed, learned, expert" (from the Old Teutonic "garaido" meaning "to prepare")
2...from the Middle English "irad" meaning "read" (v), i.e. "to consider, interpret, discern" (from Skr. "radh", "to accomplish").
3...from the Turkish "iradah" meaning "will, desire" as well as a written decree by the Sultan.
4...from names such as Ira, Irit, Iris...
