Where does the name Marissa come from?
Behind the Name lists Marissa as a variant of Marisa, a name built from Maria and Luisa. Wikipedia links it to Maris, Latin for “of the sea”, and says it can also mean “little Mary”, referring to the Virgin Mary, which ties it to the huge family of names that grew from Maria and Mary.
Other forms of Marissa
Wikipedia gives Marisa, Marrisa and Merissa as other spellings, and Behind the Name’s family tree runs back to Maria and Luisa. Short forms are up to the family.
