Meaning & origin
Gloris is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1917, during a period when many Gloria variants were coined. Its peak year was 1933, after which usage declined steadily. The name follows a stable trajectory in recent decades, with very sporadic birth counts. Unlike Gloria, Gloris never broke into the top 1000 and remains a distinctive choice. Its etymology ties directly to the Latin concept of glory, a theme that has resonated in Christian naming traditions.
Gloris is a variant of Gloria, which derives from Latin gloria meaning "glory". Gloria was a popular name among early Christians, used to refer to the glory of God, and was later adopted by English speakers in the 19th century. Gloris appears to be a 20th-century respelling, particularly used in the United States.
