Yamaris
Meaning of Yamaris
Yamaris is a Spanish-language feminine name that emerged in Puerto Rico in the late 1990s and carries a subtle Latin resonance. Pronounced yah-MAH-rees (/jaˈmaɪˈres/), it appears to blend the Spanish particle “ya” (“already”) with “Maris,” a nod to the Latin maris, meaning “of the sea.” Puerto Rican birth records from 1998 through 2007 show Yamaris steadily ranked between 99th and a peak of 69th place, with annual occurrences ranging from seven to twelve newborns. Its clear, balanced phonetic profile and understated maritime allusion have made Yamaris a distinctive yet accessible choice in contemporary Latin American naming trends.
