Koryssa Origin and Meaning

The name Koryssa is a girl's name.

Koryssa is a feminine name likely derived as a modern variant of Corissa or Karissa, which themselves may be elaborations of Karis (from the Greek 'charis' meaning 'grace' or 'kindness'). The distinctive spelling with 'K' and 'y' gives this rare name a contemporary feel while maintaining connections to classical roots. Emerging primarily in late 20th century America, Koryssa represents the trend toward creative spellings and unique variations of more established names. The name has remained uncommon, appealing to parents seeking distinctiveness without complete novelty. With its melodic three-syllable structure and blend of strong consonants and soft endings, Koryssa strikes a balance between feminine softness and modern individuality. The name's rarity means it carries few preconceptions or stereotypes.
