Meaning & origin
Amiris is a modern invented name that first entered U.S. records in 2019, making it one of the newest additions to the American naming landscape. It has been steadily rising in usage since its debut, with a peak in 2023. As of 2025, it ranks 6,446th nationally, with an estimated 1 in every 131,390 boys receiving the name. The name has not yet appeared in any state-level popularity lists, suggesting its use is still highly localized. Amiris fits a contemporary pattern of names beginning with 'Am-' (like Amir, Amari) and ending with the stylish '-is' suffix (as in Elias or Davis). Its lack of historical or linguistic roots makes it a purely creative choice for parents seeking a distinctive, modern-sounding name.
Amiris first appeared in U.S. records in 2019. It is likely a modern coinage, possibly formed from the prefix 'Am-' (as in Amir or Amari) combined with the fashionable suffix '-is'. There is no evidence of traditional roots in any language.
