Ariss -- The family originated from England. The surname is a variant of Arras, Aries and Aris. Early records of Ariss ancestors include: Simon de Araz in 1202 P(L), Robert de Arras in 1281 LLB A. One clan of the Ariss family was orignally from Arras, France: Hugo de Erghes in 1347 FrY and John Aras in 1421 FrY. Other families were from Arras (ERYorks) in England: Herges in 1156.
