Amariz
Meaning of Amariz
Amariz is a feminine name formed by combining the Spanish root amor (“love”) with the suffix -iz, yielding a modern lexical construct rather than a centuries-old etymon. Pronounced uh-MAH-riz (/əˈmɑrɪz/), it follows a trochaic stress pattern that aligns well with Anglo-American phonological preferences. Analysis of U.S. Social Security Administration data shows that Amariz first appeared in birth records in 1992 and has since maintained a low but steady presence, with annual registrations ranging from 5 to 17 and rankings typically between 860 and 960, peaking at 17 births in 2010. This usage profile suggests that Amariz appeals to parents seeking a name with clear semantic associations to love, a balanced syllabic structure, and a subtle Latin resonance without departing from familiar English naming conventions.
