Bariş
Turkish at root, where barış means peace, the calm after a quarrel or the end of a war. Fewer than 200 men in Poland carry it, so meeting one stays with you.
Bariş Pronunciation

What Bariş means
Where Bariş comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Barış comes from Turkish, where the word means peace. That is its plain sense in ordinary speech, the opposite of war, the calm after a quarrel is settled. Parents in Turkey have given it to sons for a long time, and on the page it reads as exactly what it says.
The most famous bearer makes the point. Barış Manço, the singer and television presenter who died in 1999, put the name into Turkish pop and made it hard to hear as anything abstract. His songs reached well past Turkey.
In Poland the name is rare. A boy called Barış might be the only one on a school register in Kraków, the spelling slightly foreign to an eye that expects Bartosz. The meaning holds anyway. Peace, pokój, sits inside a name that arrived from another language and kept its sense whole.
