Claris is Latin in Origin.
Claris derives from Latin clarus, meaning "clear, bright, illustrious," a root that also gave rise to Clara, Claire, Clarice, Clarisse, and Clarissa. The form Claris reflects medieval French and English usage (also seen as Clarys), and it can function as a streamlined variant of Clarice/Clarisse. Related international counterparts include Chiara (Italian) and Klara (Central and Eastern European); masculine cognates include Clarus and the French Clair. Diminutives such as Clary and Clare are sometimes used informally.
As a given name, Claris appears in late medieval records in England and France and resurged with Victorian medievalism, showing modest use in Britain and the United States into the early 20th century. While historically unisex in rare instances, it is now chiefly feminine. Today Claris reads vintage yet crisp, carrying associations of clarity, brightness, and quiet distinction.
