Aris?

Sunshine is mine

I have known a girl named Aris (Air-iss) for years but never thought about it before. Is it a real name?

I have never heard it myself. So the only thing I think of when I see it is the Greek God of War, but his is typically spelled Ares but I've seen Aris related to him before.

and I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure Ares is pronounced Air-ees and this is pronounced Air-iss...

I have never seen it before. I don't like it because I cannot figure out how to say it by looking at it. I think those names are a PITA.

I knew a guy from Greece who was named Aris (Ah-ris) - never heard of it for a girl.

never heard of it.... Ari for a guy, yes.  Aris?  nope

Good question.  I've never heard it as a name but there's a condo development by that name near NYC.  It's kind of an unfortunate name, though -- not ugly but said aloud it sounds like "heiress."

I have a Greek friend who has a son named Aris (Ahr-Rees) . I've not heard of it for a girl.

I've heard it for a girl once. But the other names in the family were also terrible.

In NYC it is also the name of the big database that stores all the student information.

Yes. My male friend's name is Aris. He is an awesome person, and this name fits him so well

I've only heard of it as the name of a beer. A very delicious Greek beer.
