Caris is a Greek name meaning grace, charm, and favor. This is better than the otherwise "Charis". It's by far one of the best Greek names. You hear it a lot in Greek/Christian religion, because it's holy, it's the Greek word for grace. If you're interested in celebrity names consider this: It is similar to Catherine Zeta Jones daughter's name "Carys", and it also sounds similar to "Paris", such as Paris Hilton, so therefore making it cool, ha ha!

If I used the name Caris I would spell it Karice, pronounced CARE iss.
CARIS is purely a Greek name meaning grace and kindness, but it can be interpreted as a Welsh name meaning love, as "caru" means love in Welsh. The name CARYS is purely a Welsh name meaning love. I don't think it should be with a K because "Karice" would sound and look like another kind of name. Plus, it would be pronounced KA-RICE or KA-REES, no no!

Pronounced KA-ris, like the A in "sat". I prefer this way, but definitely not like CAR-is, and CARE-is. KAH-ris is fine with me, but Ka-rees is the worst.
