Adamaris

Meaning of Adamaris

Adamaris, a feminine given name of relatively recent coinage, exhibits an etymological composition frequently analyzed as the fusion of the Germanic element Ada, meaning “noble,” with the Latin maris, “of the sea,” thus conveying an implicit sense of maritime nobility. Its phonetic realisation in contemporary Spanish is [a.ða.ma.ˈɾis], while in American English it is rendered as [ə.də.ˈmɑr.ɪs], each pronunciation reflecting the name’s cross-cultural adaptability. Usage data in the United States from 1998 through 2024 demonstrate a modest but persistent presence—peaking at 287 occurrences (rank 683) in 2006 and stabilising between ranks 890 and 931 in the early 2020s—indicative of its appeal to parents seeking a balance between historical resonance and modern distinctiveness. As a result, Adamaris occupies a niche position within Anglo-American naming conventions, offering an academically intriguing option for those valuing both linguistic heritage and contemporary flair.
