In Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow, a messenger to the gods and she was said to use rainbows as the bridge from heaven to earth. The multi-colored petals of the iris flower led to its naming after the rainbow goddess and the flower was considered a symbol of power and majesty the three petal segments representing faith, wisdom and velour. It then also became the name for the colored part of the eye.
