Amaris for boys#2183 US
Similar in feel to fast rising choices like Azariah, Aziel, and Amias, the name trending upwards for boys with around 60 called Amaris in a recent year.
It might be worth noting that there has been some debate over whether Amaris is actually a form of Amariah or whether it is instead a variation on Amarillis, Amari, or Amor. We can't say for certain, but it is possible that some parents might have got their inspiration from there, rather than from the Biblical name.
Amaris for girls#754 US
Amaris sounds like "amorous," which is a loving name for a child, but doesn't really have a clear derivation or meaning of its own. The popular Amara is one of the most international names on the charts, with derivations and meanings in cultures that truly span the globe. And Amariah is an ancient Hebrew name. Still, Amaris is unusual and pretty, and that may be enough.
Pronounced uh-MAR-is.
As of October 2026, Amaris ranked #2183 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1573 in 2022.
