Glenis Origin and Meaning

The name Glenis is a girl's name.

Glenis is a feminine name of Welsh origin, believed to be a variant of the name Glenn, meaning "valley" or "glen." The name gained modest popularity in the United Kingdom during the mid-20th century but has remained relatively uncommon worldwide. Glenis has a lilting, graceful sound that combines strength and femininity, making it appealing to parents looking for something traditional yet distinctive. The name reached its peak usage in the 1940s and 1950s, particularly in Wales and England. Today, Glenis maintains an air of vintage charm and Celtic heritage, though it's rarely found among newborns, giving it a somewhat nostalgic quality for contemporary bearers.
