What is the meaning of the name Noris ?

The baby name Noris is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NOR-iss (English: /ˈnɔːrɪs/ or /ˈnɔrɪs/; Spanish: NOH-rees /ˈnoɾis/).

Noris is English in Origin.

Noris has several converging origins. In English it functions as a streamlined variant of the surname–given name Norris, from Anglo-Norman norreis, meaning “northerner.” In Hispanic usage, Noris often arises as a hypocoristic built on the Nor- stem, attached to names such as Nora, Norberta, or (via the nickname Nori) Eleonora/Leonor; meanings therefore range from “north-bright” (from Norbert/Norberta) to “honor” (from Honoria). The Italian surname Noris, borne by early modern scholars, has also reinforced its visibility as a given name in Romance languages.

As a forename, Noris is most common in Latin America from the mid-20th century onward, predominantly feminine, while in English-speaking contexts it appears rarely and can be unisex when linked to the surname Norris. Related forms and variants include Norris, Nori, Norie, Nora/Norah, Norberta/Norbert, and Honoria; diminutives such as Nori and Norita are also used in Spanish.
