Idriss is Arabic in Origin.
Idriss is a Latin-script spelling of Arabic Idrīs (إدريس), whose earliest secure form is the Quranic prophetic name. The usual Arabic explanation connects it with the root d-r-s, expressed in the verb darasa, to study, read, or examine; on that analysis Idrīs is understood as one who studies or interprets. The morphology is not a transparent classical Arabic pattern, so the name is best treated as a Quranic Arabic personal name with a learned traditional etymology.
In Islamic tradition Idrīs is a prophet, commonly identified in later Muslim exegesis with the biblical Enoch, which anchored the name in Muslim usage. The spelling Idriss is especially visible in French-influenced North and West Africa, beside Idris, Edris, Turkish İdris, and Moroccan Driss. Medieval Morocco added dynastic prestige through Idris I and II of the Idrisid line; in the United States, SSA records show Idriss mainly after 2000.
