Marisa

Marisa comes from both Spanish and Italian roots, carrying the beautiful meaning "of the sea." With its origin in the Latin word 'maris,' Marisa evokes a serene and gentle character, much like the calming waves of the ocean. It has an elegant yet classic feel, making it a timeless choice for many parents.

In terms of popularity, Marisa has had an interesting journey. It enjoyed a strong presence in the Top 1000 every year from 1956 to 2012, even peaking at #145 in 1994. Although it never quite cracked the Top 100, it spent a remarkable 40 years in the Top 500, demonstrating its enduring appeal. More recently, however, Marisa has seen a decline in rankings, dropping to #3876 in 2024 after a notable fall from #2522 to #3732 in just 2021.

As a name, Marisa embodies a sense of calm elegance and gentle strength. It resonates with those who appreciate classic styles with a touch of natural beauty. Whether you picture it on a child or an adult, Marisa remains a name that feels both timeless and gracefully poised.
