Larrissa Origin and Meaning

The name Larrissa is a girl's name.

Larrissa is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Larissa. The name Larissa has Greek origins and was the name of an ancient city in Thessaly. In Greek mythology, Larissa was a nymph who was either a daughter of Pelasgus or a lover of Poseidon. The name may derive from the Greek word meaning 'citadel' or 'stronghold.' As a personal name, Larrissa offers a slightly unique spelling variation while maintaining the melodic, flowing quality of the original. Though less common than Larissa, Larrissa provides a subtle distinction while preserving the classical heritage and feminine elegance associated with the name.
