mariss is English, Latin in Origin.

Mariss is a streamlined modern given name linked to the Latin maris, the genitive of mare, “sea,” so it carries the sense “of the sea” and, by Christian tradition, echoes Stella Maris, a Marian title. In English it reads as a clipped or respelled offshoot of Marissa/Marisa and of Maris, names that rose in the late 20th century; consequently, Mariss has appeared in recent decades but remains uncommon.

Variants and related forms include Maris, Marissa, Marisa, Marise, and Marisse; short forms include Mari, Riss, and Rissa. In the Baltic sphere, Mariss also occurs in Latvia as a masculine given name, famously borne by conductor Mariss Jansons, and is sometimes linked to the native name Māris. Overall, whether used as a unisex sea-linked choice or as a Latvian masculine form, Mariss blends familiar sounds with a brisk, contemporary spelling.
