Amarelys is Spanish in Origin.

Amarelys blends Hispanic and classical elements. Likely formed from Spanish amar “to love” and the flower name Amarilis/Amaryllis (from Greek amarysso, “to sparkle, shine”), it also echoes Caribbean -elys/-lys endings seen in Arelys and Yarelis. The composite meaning suggests “beloved, shining lily.” Amaryllis was the pastoral beloved in Virgil’s Eclogues and later the name of a showy lily; in the Spanish-speaking world Amarilis gained literary cachet through the 17th‑century Peruvian poet who used it as a pen name.

Used chiefly in Puerto Rican and Dominican communities and among the broader U.S. Latino diaspora since the late 20th century, Amarelys remains uncommon in official name data, fostering flexible spellings. Variants and relatives include Amarelis, Amareliz, Amarely, Amarilis/Amarylis, Amaryllis, Arelys, Yarelis, and Amaris; diminutives include Ama, Mari, Relys/Lys. The name’s cross‑cultural roots give it a romantic, luminous feel while staying distinctive.
