Clorissa Origin and Meaning

The name Clorissa is a girl's name.

Clorissa is a feminine name likely derived as a variant of Clarissa, which comes from the Latin 'clarus' meaning 'bright, clear, or famous.' This uncommon spelling variation maintains the melodic quality of Clarissa while offering a distinctive twist. The name has a romantic, vintage feel reminiscent of classical literature and may appeal to parents who appreciate traditional names with a unique edge. Clorissa has never been widely popular, making it an option for families seeking rarity. Its four-syllable rhythm creates a graceful, flowing sound that carries an air of elegance and refinement. While the spelling might occasionally require clarification, the name remains intuitive to pronounce and has the same sophisticated essence as its more common counterpart.
