Karisa

Meaning of Karisa

Karisa is a name that dances lightly on the tongue. It springs from the Latin carus for “dear” and echoes the Greek charis, meaning “grace.” She sparkles with warmth and kindness. Picture honeyed sunlight filtering through olive branches or laughter swirling in a festive Spanish courtyard—that’s her vibe. Known for its effortless roll—kuh-REE-suh—Karisa feels sweet and breezy. Back in the ’80s and early ’90s, a handful of Pennsylvania families fell for Karisa, making her a rare but memorable pick. Today, parents choose her for the promise of a girl who finds grace in tiny moments and lights up the world with a joyful heart.
