Marrisa
Meaning of Marrisa
Marrisa is a feminine given name of Latin origin, functioning as a variant spelling of Marissa, which itself derives from the Latin maris, meaning “of the sea.” Phonetically it comprises three syllables with primary stress on the second (məˈriːsə), and its double “r” and “s” serve as a morphological marker distinguishing it within the Mar- name family. In California birth records from 1984 to 1998, Marrisa appeared consistently but sparsely—registering between six and fourteen annual occurrences, peaking at fourteen births in both 1991 and 1993 and ranking in the mid-370s statewide. Despite its literal maritime associations, the name has rarely made waves in popularity charts, underscoring its appeal as a deliberate, technically precise choice for parents seeking a traditional yet uncommon Anglo-American name.
