History & Origin
Gloris is a spelling and sound variant of Gloria, the Latin word gloria meaning glory, which was fashionable in the early twentieth century. Gloris rode a little way on Gloria's coattails without ever becoming widespread.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high around the early nineteen-thirties, and it faded within a generation. Someone named Gloris then would be of great-grandmother age now.
