Amaris
Pronounced ah-MAR-iss
girl
Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Amaris does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Promised by God; Given by God", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Amaris.
- Meaning
- "Promised by God; Given by God"
- Origin
- Hebrew
Amaris derives from the Hebrew root 'amar' meaning 'to promise' or 'to say.' God is a promise-keeping God whose every word is trustworthy. From the covenant with Abraham to the promise of a Messiah, Scripture is the story of divine promises fulfilled with perfect faithfulness.
Spiritual meaning
Amaris celebrates the faithfulness of God who keeps every promise — a child whose very name declares trust in divine covenant-keeping.
