Meaning & origin
Noris is a rare name in the United States, first recorded in 1921. Its peak year was 1933, but it has never been a highly popular name. The name remains stable in usage, appearing infrequently over the decades. Noris is used for both boys and girls, though its historical use leans slightly female. Without any top states or notable famous bearers, Noris stands as a distinctive, low-frequency choice.
Noris is likely a variant of the surname Norris, which originally denoted someone who lived near a north-facing house or came from the north. It may also be a feminine form of Noris, a name of uncertain derivation. Records suggest the name was used in the United States as early as the 1920s.
