Eirlys

Eirlys. Sounds fantasy like. Beautiful. I love the meaning too.

Very beautiful :D.

This name is so beautiful. I love the way it sounds.

Eirlys is a beautiful Welsh name with a beautiful meaning, though as far as I know from what the Welsh side of my family says it's not entirely common. I personally love the name and its meaning, snowdrops are my favourite flower and symbolise the end of Winter and beginning of Spring. In the Language of Flowers, snowdrops are a symbol of hope, optimism and rebirth if presented during a celebratory event (such as a wedding), but are symbols of sympathy and consolation if presented during funerals. I'm not aware of any negative symbolism associated with snowdrops, so this gives the name Eirlys even more of a special meaning to it. I was once considering it if and when I have my own children but I think it's a little too far out there. Instead, I've settled on using it as the name for the main character in the story I'm writing who is delicate in appearance but very strong willed.

Beautiful name with a beautiful meaning! I absolutely love this name. When I have a kid in the future, I'll either use this name or alter it a little... maybe something like "Irlyssa" or "Irelysse."

I love the meaning! :)

I'd never really heard of this name before, until I started college last year, and there was a girl in my group called Eirlys. I think it's quite a nice name altogether, but in the case of the girl in college, everybody kept mispronouncing her name, and she is forever cursed with having to correct people, because people keep calling her Iris. I've come to the conclusion that it must be rare, even in Wales, because even though it's Welsh, I've never really heard it, and I'm Welsh.

Hm. Sounds like "airless" to me. That aside, it's got a lovely, distinctive sound that is quite fantasy-novel-esque.

This name sounds very 'Lord of the Rings' to me - and that's a good thing! I've found that I get that impression from a lot of Welsh names. This name is really pretty, and I love the meaning.

This name will be forever ruined for me because of a character in "The Snow Spider."

Beautiful meaning! Love it!
