The name Daris (also spelled Darris) is a male given name in Europe and North America, while in South America, especially in Brasil, it is used as a female name.

Some sources state its original meaning is “a student" or "a valuable or precious person" in old Persian language. Some sources state it is a modern Germanic or Slavic version of the name “Dario” (a counterpart of Daris in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese) or Darius (a transliteration/spelling of the name Daris in some languages).[1]

Because of its meaning, it became a very popular name for a male child among academic families in Europe and in North America.

In the last five years, the name became popular in Austria,[2] especially in the state of Salzburg and is very common in USA, UK and Germany. The name is very popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[3] especially in and around the city of Sarajevo, and recently became popular in Croatia - mainly in Northern Adriatic.[4] In Croatia, it is exclusively Croatian name, while in Bosnia exclusively Bosnian - similar situation as with the name “Damir”.
