Thyais is an uncommon, unique feminine given name of Greek origin. It was popularized by the French writer Honoré de Balzac, who used it for a character in his novel "Père Goriot." The name Thyais has also been associated with ancient Greek history, as Thyais was the wife of the Persian king Artaxerxes II Mnemon. However, its usage today is quite rare. Pronunciation can vary depending on regional influences, but it typically sounds like THY-ahs or THY-eye-as.
Thyais was quite popular in 1976 with a total of 7 births that year.
