Blooming or fervent; high meadow
Ardis is a name of debated origins, often cited as a variant of the Scottish surname Ardiss or a derivative of the Latin 'ardens' meaning fervent or glowing. In some contexts, it is associated with the Hebrew word for a flowering bronze or a blooming field. It enjoyed moderate popularity in the United States during the early 20th century but remains a rare choice today.
