About the name
Meaning
disputed: God has said (Hebrew); child of the moon (Latin/Spanish); bitter (Latin amaris).
No dataset or academic source currently documents a verified literal meaning or single origin for Amaris; multiple baby-name websites repeat different, uncited etymologies (Hebrew, Latin, Spanish, Greek) that cannot be reconciled from the evidence found, so none of them should be read as an established fact.
Bottom line
On its own, Amaris holds up well, with a single specific point worth checking before you decide. If it stays on the shortlist, show the written name to someone seeing it for the first time and note where their pronunciation lands.
