Meaning & origin
Lavoris is an extremely rare name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1961. It is most likely a modern invention, possibly inspired by the Lavoris mouthwash brand, which debuted in the early 1900s. The name never entered the top 1,000 and saw its highest recorded usage in 1979, when it was given to a handful of boys. Since then, it has fallen into obscurity, reflecting the trajectory of novelty names that saw brief use in the mid-20th century. No top states were associated with its use, as births were too few to register regionally. Lavoris remains a curious artifact of American naming trends in the 1970s, largely unknown today.
Lavoris appears to be a modern invented name, first recorded in the United States in 1961. It may have been inspired by the oral hygiene brand Lavoris, introduced in the early 20th century, whose name is derived from the Latin verb 'lavare', meaning 'to wash'. As a given name, it saw modest use in the 1970s before declining.
