Meaning & origin
Jarris is a rare American given name first recorded in 1981. It has never appeared in the U.S. top 1000, reflecting its extremely low usage. Its peak popularity occurred in 1987, though even then it was given to fewer than five boys. Since the 1980s, usage has been stable but negligible. As a modern coinage, Jarris lacks a clear etymological origin, likely derived from Jarvis or created as a distinctive variant. Its rarity makes it a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a familiar sound.
Jarris is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. records in the 1980s. It may have emerged as a variant of the surname-derived Jarvis, which itself comes from the medieval given name Gervase. Alternatively, Jarris could be a modern invention blending popular sounds like 'Jar-' with a fashionable '-is' suffix.
