Corlis is an English surname. I googled Corlis, and according to some baby name sites (http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Corliss and http://www.babynames.com/name/CORLISS), it is of Old English origin and means benevolent, cheery, happy, carefree, etc. (assuming Corlis is a variant of Corliss). Based on that meaning, I'd guess it came from the same Old English word as careless, carléas (looked up in dictionary).
