What is the meaning of the name Edris ?

The baby name Edris is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ED-ris (/ˈɛdrɪs/); Arabic variant id-REES (/ɪˈdriːs/).

Edris is Arabic, English, Welsh in Origin.

Edris is a cross-cultural given name, most often a variant of Idris. In Welsh, Idris combines udd “lord” with ris “ardent, enthusiastic,” yielding meanings like “ardent lord.” In Arabic and Persian usage, Idrīs is the name of a Qur’anic prophet often identified with Enoch; it relates to the root d-r-s “to study,” giving a sense of “learned” or “studious.” Edris preserves these layers while offering a streamlined English-friendly spelling and appears for both sexes in English records, notably as a rare feminine name in the early 20th century.

Variants include Idris (standard), Idrees/Idrisu (South Asian and West African spellings), Idriss/Idrisse (French), and Idriz (Balkan). Feminine use of Edris occurs in English; Idrissa is a masculine West African form. Short forms include Ed, Edi, and Dris. The name carries scholarly, dignified associations across Celtic and Islamic traditions.
