Amarissa Origin and Meaning

The name Amarissa is a girl's name meaning "little lover".

Amarissa is kind of cobbled together from two traditional elements: Ama, which means "love" or "lover" and is found in such more established names as Amabel and Amariah, and -issa, which is a common feminine suffix that functions as a diminutive. While Amarissa is pretty and frilly, it may frequently be misunderstood as Marissa, Melissa, and may ultimately be more trouble than it's worth.

Amarissa may also be from Greek "amarysso" meaning "to sparkle, glimmer". Although to reflect that origin I'd spell it Amaryssa.

Actually, Amarissa means "gift from God" or "child of the moon" depending on whether one is referring to its Hebrew or Spanish origin.
