Caryse is in Origin.

Caryse is a modern elaboration of the Welsh name Carys/Cerys, formed from caru, "to love," with the feminine suffix -ys; the core meaning is "love" or "beloved." The spelling also recalls Greek Charis ("grace") and contemporary forms such as Karis, Caris, and Cherise/Charisse, so Caryse often reads as a bridge between the Welsh love-names and the Charis family. Related variants include Carys, Cerys, Caris, Karis, Charis, Charisse, Cherise, and Carisse.

Within Wales, Carys and Cerys have been used since the early 20th century and spread more widely in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, helped by broader interest in Welsh heritage names; media mentions, including celebrity baby choices, carried the name beyond the UK. Caryse itself is rare and chiefly Anglophone, appearing in records only recently as a stylistic, phonetic spelling. Parents often choose it for its compact elegance and the affectionate message embedded in its Welsh root.
