Deeply rooted in mythology and philosophy, Greek unisex names are rich in history and cultural heritage. In ancient Greece, names were predominantly gender-specific. Masculine names were often inspired by mythological figures, virtues, or historical heroes, while feminine names would be associated with attributes, natural elements, or family lineage. Names for both genders ended in characters indicative of their gender. However, over time, some names gained the flexibility to be used as gender-neutral options.

Names that became popular across various countries were often adopted as gender-neutral. For example, the name Alexis, originally a masculine name meaning ‘defender’ in ancient Greece, was borne by a famous poet and several saints. However, when it spread to English-speaking Western countries, it began to be used as a feminine name. On the other hand, the unisex Greek name Haris was derived from Charis, a name inspired by the masculine Chares, which means ‘grace’ or ‘kindness.’ Unisex names in Greek culture showcase the blend of traditional gender roles with contemporary values of equality and flexibility. To help you select a meaningful Greek name, we've curated a list of unisex options that you may find appealing.
