Kellis First Name Meaning

Kellis is an American female name meaning "Beautiful." The name is associated with the ancient village of Kellis, located in Upper Egypt during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. The village, now known as Ismant el-Kharab, was a hub for small businesses like weaving, pottery, and blacksmithing, and was home to the Temple of Tutu and three churches, including the oldest known church building in Egypt, the Small East Church. Excavations in Kellis have unearthed thousands of writing fragments, wooden books, glass vessels, tools, and cemeteries with mummified remains. The site provides insights into the coexistence of Manichaeism and Christianity in ancient times. The meaning of the name Kellis reflects beauty and history, making it a meaningful and culturally rich choice for a female name of American origin.
