To sparkle; a flower name
Derived from the Greek word 'amarysso', meaning to sparkle or shine. In Greek mythology, Amaryllis was a shepherdess who shed her blood to create the vibrant red flower that now bears her name. The spelling variant Amarilys offers a softer, more unique visual appeal while maintaining its botanical roots.
