Around the globe, Yerlis (Yerlis 
) is quite a rare predominantly girly, but scarcely boy's given name. The first name Yerlis is habitual in Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly Colombia, where it is quite a rare feminine name, Nicaragua, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and the Dominican Republic, where it is a rare girly name. Very seldom, Yerlis is the last name as well as the forename.
