Tris

The name Tris is of Greek origin and it means "third". It is believed to have been used historically as a given name for third-born children, particularly boys. However, in recent years, Tris has also been used as a female given name. Tris was not widely used as a given name until the early 20th century. Its use became more popularized after the release of the popular young adult novel and movie series "The Hunger Games," in which one of the main characters is named Katniss Everdeen, also known by her District 12 nickname Tris. Despite its recent popularity boost from the Hunger Games franchise, Tris remains a relatively uncommon given name. According to data from the Social Security Administration, Tris has never ranked among the top 1000 most popular baby names in the United States since records began being kept in 1879. Overall, Tris is a unique and distinctive name with a historical connection to Greek culture. Its meaning of "third" gives it a somewhat unusual but memorable quality that may appeal to parents looking for a less common name for their child.
