Phylis is a variant spelling of the more common Phyllis, a name with ancient Greek origins derived from 'phyllon,' meaning 'leaf.' In Greek mythology, Phyllis was a Thracian princess who was transformed into an almond tree after dying of a broken heart. This alternate spelling peaked in popularity in the early to mid-20th century but has since become uncommon. The simplified spelling removes the double 'l' but maintains the traditional pronunciation. While less popular than its classical counterpart, Phylis retains the elegant, nature-inspired associations of the original. The name evokes a vintage charm reminiscent of the 1920s-1950s era and might appeal to parents seeking a subtly distinctive variation on a classic name.
