Amariss as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Amariss

What is the meaning of the name Amariss ?

Amariss is English in Origin.

Amariss is a modern English given name, most plausibly an embellished form of Amaris or a blend with Maris. Amaris is commonly linked to Hebrew amar “to say,” yielding the theophoric sense “God has said/has promised,” while Maris is Latin for “of the sea,” familiar from the Marian title Stella Maris. The sound also echoes Latin amare “to love,” so parents often read Amariss as evoking promise, the sea, and love.

Documented chiefly in North America since the late 20th century, Amariss remains rare and has not been a top‑ranking chart name, but it fits current tastes for -is/-iss endings. Variants and near-relatives include Amaris, Amarise, Amarissa, Amarys, Amarisse, and Maris; related choices are Amara and Amaris with single s. Because the name is modern, meanings are interpretive rather than fixed, and usage is flexible across genders, though it skews feminine in contemporary records.
