Jomaris

Meaning of Jomaris

Jomaris (/dʒoˈmɑrɪs/) is a feminine personal name predominantly documented in Puerto Rican vital records during the early 21st century, where it achieved a peak rank of 65 in 2008. Etymologically, it represents a neological fusion of the prefix “Jo” (a diminutive of Joanna or Josephine) with the Latin element “Maris,” meaning “of the sea,” thereby combining Germanic and classical roots into a single, technically precise anthroponym. Analysis of the available data—from six occurrences (rank 93) in 2000 to eleven (rank 66) in 2007—reveals a pattern of sporadic yet persistent adoption, indicative of a name chosen more for its compositional novelty and maritime resonance than for adherence to established familial or religious naming conventions. Consequently, Jomaris occupies a niche within Anglo-American discussions of Hispanic naming practices, exemplifying the analytical intersection of linguistic innovation and cultural identity.
