- Amaris
Origin:
Variation of Amariah, HebrewMeaning:
"said of God"Description:
Amaris as a boy's name is a variation of Amariah, a rare Biblical name for several minor figures. While both Amaris and Amariah are used for both girls and boys, Amaris is a significantly more gender neutral name. The gender balance runs about 6 girls for every boy Amaris but 20 girls for each boy named Amariah, perhaps because of its resemblance to the popular girls' name Mariah.
