Meaning & origin
Edris is a rare name in the United States, first recorded in 1899 and never reaching the top 1000. Its peak popularity came in 1904, and since then its usage has been stable but very low. The name is a variant of Idris, an important name in Islamic tradition, and has also been used in English-speaking countries. The trajectory of Edris shows little change over the decades, with no significant upswing or decline. While it has not been associated with any particular state, its sporadic use reflects a name that has remained consistently uncommon.
Edris is a variant of Idris, an Arabic name of pre-Islamic origin. In Islamic tradition, Idris is identified with the biblical prophet Enoch. The name has also been used in English-speaking countries since the 19th century, possibly as a variant of the Welsh name Edris or as a feminine form of Edwin, though the Welsh origin is uncertain.
