Aris

It originates from the ancient Greek name Ἀρίστων (Aristōn), which often traces back to the root *ἥρω- (ἥρως - hero) or the archaic superlative suffix -στος (-stos) (στός - "best", "outstanding"), yielding meanings such as "best", "outstanding", "excellent". In modern Greek, Aristōn is used to mean "the best" and remains one of the common male names. The name "Aris" itself is an abbreviation or short form of Aristōn.
