What is the meaning of the name Demaryss ?

Demaryss is Greek in Origin.

Demaryss is a contemporary, stylistic elaboration most closely tied to Damaris and Maris/DeMaris. Damaris appears in the New Testament (Acts 17:34) and is usually traced to Greek damalis, “calf, heifer,” used of maidens and yielding senses like “gentle” or “tame.” Maris comes from Latin maris, “of the sea,” familiar from the Marian title Stella Maris. Blended or re-spelled forms such as Demaris and DeMaris provide the phonetic base, with -y- and final -ss adding modern flourish.

Usage of the Demaryss spelling is very recent and rare, found mainly in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century amid creative respellings. Variant forms include Damaris, Demaris, Demarys, Demaryis, Demaryss, DeMaris, and Maris; related masculine names include Demario and Demaryius. Depending on which root you favor, Demaryss can signify “gentle” (Greek line) or “of the sea” (Latin line), or be read poetically as “gentle of the sea.”
