Amaris is unisex name with a Musketeer-esque feel to it: gentle and poetic, but cool and adventurous too. A variation of the Biblical name Amariah, it is given to five times as many girls than boys, though this gap has narrowed slightly in recent years.

The name of nine minor male biblical characters, this could easily make a gender switch as a singular substitution for the popular Mariah. It has also spawned the popular gender-neutral name Amaris, used for 300 baby girls and 100 baby boys last year, along with spelling variation Amarys.

The name of multiple minor Old Testament figures, Amariah is an underused member of the -iah group of Biblical boy names. Consider Ry as a cool nickname.
