:''Not to be confused with the related name Charis'' Carys is a Welsh feminine given name, formed from the stem of the Welsh vocabulary word ''caru'', "to love" (''cf.'' third person ''câr'' "beloved friend" or "precious"), and the suffix ''-ys'', found in such names as ''Dilys'', ''Gladys'', ''Glenys'' and ''Nerys''. This is comparable to the similar name ''Cheryl'' which like Carys also appeared circa 1900 and is a combination of ''Cherie'' (The French form of ''Cara'' which means "precious" in Latin and is cognate to Welsh "câr") and the ''+yl'' suffix common in trendy early 20th century names such as Meryl and Beryl. Famous bearers of the name include: * Carys Parry (born 1981), Welsh hammer thrower * Carys Hawkins (born 1988), Welsh-born Australian football player * Carys Zeta Douglas (born 2003), daughter of Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and American actor Michael Douglas ==See also== *Caradoc, a related male Welsh name with medieval origins 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
