Amarise is in Origin.

Amarise is a modern feminine given name, often treated as a stylistic elaboration of Amaris. In a Semitic reading, it connects to Hebrew elements seen in the biblical Amariah: amar (“to say/declare”) + the divine suffix -yah (“Yahweh”), yielding senses like “God has said” or “promised by God.” A Romance association also shapes the name’s appeal: the verb amar (“to love”) in Spanish and Portuguese, plus Maris from Latin maris (“of the sea”), encourage readings such as “beloved” or “of the sea.”

Rarely recorded before the late twentieth century, Amarise rose with creative -ise/-ice endings in Anglophone naming from the 1990s onward and remains uncommon. Variants and forms include Amaris, Amarice, Amarisse, Amarisa, and Amarissa; related choices are Maris, Amara, and Marisa. Nicknames are Ama, Ami, Mari, and Risa. Its layered sources let parents embrace either a sacred (“promised by God”) or a romantic (“beloved”) meaning.
