To sparkle or shine
Amarys is likely a modern variation of the Greek name Amaryllis, which means to sparkle. In Greek mythology, Amaryllis was a shepherdess who shed her own blood to prove her love, resulting in the blooming of the flower that now bears her name. It is also sometimes associated with the Latin word 'amare', meaning to love.
