Laurissah Origin and Meaning

The name Laurissah is a girl's name.

Laurissah appears to be a creative elaboration of the name Laura or Lauren, with decorative spelling elements that give it a distinctive appearance. The classical root Laura comes from the Latin "laurus," meaning "laurel tree" or "sweet bay tree," which in ancient Rome symbolized victory and honor. The addition of "-issah" creates a more ornate version with a style reminiscent of names like Clarissa or Melissa, while the terminal 'h' adds a further decorative touch. Laurissah is extremely rare, likely created as a unique variation to set it apart from more common Laura derivatives. This elaboration reflects a modern trend toward creating distinctive spellings of traditional names to give children individualized identities.
