Daris
Male given name
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daris, also spelled Darris, (Arabic: دارس), is a male given name and a surname with multiple origins.[1]
As a given name, Daris is of Arabic origin.[2] In Arabic, it is derived from the root d-r-s (درس) which relates to the concept of studying, learning, and lessons.[3]
The name is popular in the Balkans, particularly in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. Its popularity in Bosnia and Herzegovina[4] is likely due to its similarity to previously popular names, such as Haris and Faris. In Croatia,[5] it is likely a modification of the previously popular name Dario.
