Iris✳

Iris is directly derived from the Greek word iris, meaning "rainbow." In Greek mythology, the rainbow goddess Iris was a messenger for Zeus and Hera, who rode the rainbow as a multicolored bridge from heaven to earth.

The botanical iris also carries evocative symbols. In ancient times, the Iris was considered a symbol of power and majesty, the three petal segments representing faith, wisdom, and valor. This image led to the naming of the colored part of the eye.

In the contemporary world, Iris has amazing international versatility, ranking highly throughout the English-speaking world as well as in a diverse range of countries from Spain to Slovenia, France to Sweden.
