Yomaris is of Latin American origin, specifically from Colombia and Venezuela. It is derived from the female given name Maria, which means "sea of bitterness" or "rebelliousness." However, Yomaris is often associated with "yoma," a term used in some Latin American cultures to refer to a day of celebration or festivity. Thus, Yomaris may also symbolize joy and festiveness. It gained popularity in the late 20th century and has since become quite common in Spanish-speaking countries. The name is typically pronounced /joːˈmæɾis/, with the stress on the second syllable.
The name Yomaris experienced a gradual increase in popularity between 1999 and 2009, with the peak year being 2009 (14 births). However, it seems to have declined slightly after that, with most years seeing around 6-8 births. Overall, there were a total of 107 births from 1999 to 2013.
