Amiris

Meaning of Amiris

Amiris (uh-MEER-is) feels like a breath of fresh possibility for a little boy—its roots reach back to the Arabic Amir (“prince” or “commander”), softened by a poetic -is ending that adds a touch of lyrical warmth. The name conjures an image of a quiet banner unfurling at dawn, hinting at both gentle confidence and a spirit born to lead. It also echoes the Hebrew Amaris, “given by God,” weaving a cross-cultural tapestry of promise. In the U.S., Amiris has been hovering in the top 900—just a handful of newborns in the late 2010s but carving out a steadier spot by 2024—making it familiar enough to feel approachable yet rare enough to stand out. All told, Amiris is an invitation: a bright, bold beginning wrapped in genuine warmth and the promise of great adventures ahead.
