What is the meaning of the name Aris ?

The baby name Aris is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈærɪs/ (AR-iss),/ˈaris/ or /ˈɑːrɪs/ (AH-ris, Greek pronunciation).

Aris is Greek in Origin.

Aris is a cross-cultural given name most strongly rooted in Greek. In modern Greek, Áris (Άρης) is both the everyday form of Ares, the ancient god of war and the planet Mars, and a familiar short form of Arist- names such as Aristotelis (Aristotle), Aristides, and Aristos. As a hypocoristic of those names, Aris inherits the sense of Greek aristos, “best; excellence.” When linked to Ares, it evokes martial vigor and daring from classical mythology rather than a literal lexical meaning. The name is masculine in Greece but is occasionally used as unisex elsewhere.

Variants and related forms include Ares; Aristides/Arístides, Aristide (French/Italian), Aristotelis/Aristotle; and the nickname Ari. Feminine counterparts appear as Arista or Aristi. Aris saw steady use in 20th‑century Greece and diaspora communities and has recently gained international visibility for its crisp, minimalist sound.
