What does the name Marisa mean?
Marisa is an Italian, Spanish and Portuguese combination of Maria and Luisa, says Behind the Name. Wikipedia also notes a derivation from Latin maris, “of the sea,” and that Marisa can be a contracted nickname for Maria Isabel or Maria Luisa. Behind the Name lists Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and English usage for the blend.
Marisa nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name lists Marissa and Marisela among related forms. Mari, Risa and Isa are natural short forms. Marilou and Marylou show how English sometimes joins Mary and Lou the same way.
Some famous Marisas
Marisa Tomei, born December 4, 1964, is an American actress. Wikipedia says she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for My Cousin Vinny (1992) and was nominated again for In the Bedroom (2001) and The Wrestler (2008). Early appearances included the soap As the World Turns and the sitcom A Different World.
Marisa through the decades
Marisa is a 1990s name in America. US Social Security data has it at 188th in the 1990s, when more than 15,500 girls were named Marisa. Behind the Name last ranked it 977th in the US in 2012 and 883rd in England and Wales in 2004. Brazil’s decade tables had it 519th in 2000, reflecting the Portuguese form’s reach.
Did you know?
Marisa can mean “of the sea.” Wikipedia links the name to Latin maris as well as to the Maria-plus-Luisa blend Behind the Name records, so a Marisa may carry both a shoreline and two classic saints’ names. Parents who like sea names sometimes hear maris first; parents who like saints hear Maria and Luisa instead.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Marisa is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Marisa on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
