Names That Mean Said

Amaris as a boy's name is a variation of Amariah, a rare Biblical name for several minor figures. While both Amaris and Amariah are used for both girls and boys, Amaris is a significantly more gender neutral name. The gender balance runs about 6 girls for every boy Amaris but 20 girls for each boy named Amariah, perhaps because of its resemblance to the popular girls' name Mariah.

The name of nine minor male biblical characters, this could easily make a gender switch as a singular substitution for the popular Mariah.

The name of multiple minor Old Testament figures, Amariah is an underused member of the -iah group of Biblical boy names.
