By Alfie Jamie • Updated October 6, 2026

Harrises

The plural of "Harris" is Harrises.

Meaning: the family name Harris (noun)

How does it change in a sentence?

Use a plural verb with Harrises: the Harrises are. The possessive plural adds only an apostrophe: Harrises'.

What mistakes should you avoid?

A family name that ends in s takes -es in the plural: the Harrises. Never use an apostrophe for the plural.

We went on holiday with the Harrises.
Singular: We went on holiday with the Harris family.

Hi, I'm Alfie! Language, semantics and the joy of the plural form are my playground. As an avid writer, I've turned my love of the written word into a comprehensive guide collection - from the everyday "bananas" and "bosses" to seemingly abstract "censuses" and "prostheses". When not dabbling in language, you'll find me playing a trills-filled song on my beloved plural banjos or peacefully observing the plural herds of Brontosauruses. Language isn't just my passion - it's my journey, my symphony, and my sunrise. Let's explore it together, shall we?
