Arliss is English in Origin.
Arliss is an English surname turned given name, generally pronounced AR-liss. Used for both boys and girls in the United States, it has uncertain etymology; while sometimes linked to Arl-/Earl- names, it is best viewed as a modern surname-style choice related to Arlen, Arlie, and Arlo. As a transferred surname, it carries no fixed meaning, chosen for its brisk, friendly cadence.
The name saw modest U.S. use in the mid-20th century without ever ranking highly. Cultural touchpoints include "Little Arliss" in Fred Gipson's Old Yeller, actor Arliss Howard, and the HBO series Arliss, all of which kept it familiar. Variants and related forms include Arlis, Arless, Arlys, Arlyss, and Arlise; occasional nicknames are Arly or Lis. It remains rare today yet fits current tastes for short Ar- names with a gentle vintage tone.
