Thalis

Thalis is a surname of Greek origin. It is derived from the personal name "Thales" (Θαλής), a prominent pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer from Miletus. The name "Thales" is thought to be derived from the Greek verb "thallein" (θάλλειν) meaning "to flourish" or "to bloom."

As a surname, Thalis likely originated as a patronymic, indicating descent from or association with someone named Thales. It can be found among individuals and families of Greek heritage, both within Greece and in diaspora communities around the world.

The surname, like many surnames, may have variations in spelling due to regional differences, translation, and anglicization. While less common than some other Greek surnames, Thalis maintains a recognizable connection to its historical and etymological roots.
