Araris is in Origin.

Araris is a rare given name with roots in classical Latin geography. The Romans called the French river Saone the Arar, with the genitive Araris; some later Latin sources also use Araris as a variant form. The hydronym likely stems from a Gaulish or pre-Celtic substrate and is associated with calm, slow-moving water; Julius Caesar remarked that the Arar flowed so gently its direction was hard to discern. As a personal name, Araris can suggest meanings such as river-born, of the Arar, or calm current.

As a given name it has no sustained traditional usage, appearing chiefly in antiquarian references and seeing modern revival through literature, notably the character Araris Valerian in Jim Butcher's Codex Alera. Contemporary bearers treat it as masculine or unisex. Nicknames include Ari and Aris. Related or look-alike names are Arar, Arion, and Aramis; a feminine elaboration Araria is sometimes coined in modern naming.
