Meaning & origin
Verdis is a rare unisex name that entered U.S. records in 1914. Its peak came in 1934, but it never achieved widespread popularity and has remained stable at very low usage through the latest year, 2025. The name's origins are uncertain; it may be a modern coinage or a variant of names like Verda, potentially inspired by the composer Verdi. Without clear ties to a specific etymology, Verdis remains an obscure choice. Historically, it has been given primarily to boys, though records show some use for girls as well. It has not been associated with any particular state or region based on available data.
Verdis first appears in U.S. records in 1914. It may be a coined name formed from the popular suffix '-is' attached to the root 'Verd-', perhaps inspired by the musical composer Giuseppe Verdi or the word 'verdant'. No clear etymological derivation from a specific language has been established.
