Ardiss is Irish in Origin.

Ardiss is a modern, seldom-seen given name in English, most often treated as a spelling variant of Ardis. In North America it appeared sporadically in the early to mid-20th century, with Ardis enjoying modest feminine use between the 1910s and 1950s; Ardiss itself has remained rare. The name is unisex in form, though typically feminine, and is usually pronounced AR-diss.

Its roots are debated. One path links it to the Irish toponym Ards, from Old Irish ard, “high; promontory,” yielding the sense “from the high place.” Another views Ardiss as an elaboration or twin of Ardith, a 20th‑century English coinage popularly interpreted as “blooming meadow.” A historical echo may also come from Ardys, the name of a 7th‑century BCE Lydian king. Related variants and spellings include Ardis, Ardys, Ardyss, Ardyce, Ardice, and Ardith; nicknames include Ardi and Ardie.
