Marysa
Meaning of Marysa
Marysa is a feminine name that evolved as an alternative spelling of Marisa—itself a contraction of Maria and Luisa—ultimately tracing back to the Hebrew Miriam, often interpreted as “beloved” or “bitter sea.” In English, it is pronounced /məˈraɪsə/. Although never a top-tier bestseller, Marysa has enjoyed a modest, cyclical presence in U.S. birth records, reaching its highest ranking (739) in 1973 before settling into the 800–950 range in the early 2000s and recording just seven occurrences (rank 935) in 2012. This pattern highlights its appeal to parents who value a name with classical roots and a contemporary twist, offering both familiarity and distinctiveness without crowding the playground.
