I didn't like my name when I was younger because there were three Marissa's in my grade. I wanted to be named Michelle, which was a name my parents had considered. I have grown to love my name though.

My brother calls me Riss and my sister calls me Rissy. They are just shortened versions of my name. I haven't heard my brother actually call me Marissa in years.

I am not named after anyone, but I've always liked the actress Marisa Tomei.

The name Marissa is Latin for "of the sea." It is a modern elaboration of Maria, formed by adding the suffix -isa, -issa

My name is often misspelled "Marisa" or "Marrisa." My brother couldn't pronounce my name as a young child and drove me crazy calling me Mersa.
