Argelis is of Spanish and Catalan origin, derived from the Latin 'argentum', meaning 'silver'. It gained prominence during the medieval period, particularly in regions where Catalan influence was strong. The name Argelis is often associated with elegance and grace, much like the precious metal it's named after.
