Gauris is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Gauris is a modern South Asian given name derived from Sanskrit Gaurī, meaning “fair, radiant, golden-hued,” an epithet of the goddess Parvati. The final -s reflects older transliterations of the Sanskrit visarga (ḥ) or an anglicized inflection, so the spelling coexists with the more common Gauri/Gowri. The name appears in Hindu devotional and Puranic traditions and gained steady use for girls across India and the diaspora, especially in regions where Gauri (Gowri) festivals are observed.
Variants and related forms include Gauri, Gowri, Gouri, Gaurie, and the elaboration Gaurika; thematically linked masculine counterparts are Gaurish or Gaurinath (“lord of Gauri,” epithets of Shiva). Usage is chiefly feminine, though the -s ending sometimes prompts unisex adoption in global contexts. The name conveys brightness, purity, and marital auspiciousness associated with Parvati.
Gauris is exceptionally rare. There are only 2 recorded uses on record, spread over 2 countries.
