Of the forest
Sylus is a modern spelling variant of Silas, which is derived from the Latin name Silvanus. It refers to someone who dwells in or originates from the woods or forest. While the 'y' spelling gives it a contemporary edge, it retains its ancient connection to the Roman god of the countryside.
