      • Charisa

        • Description:

          Charisa is a delicate feminine name of Greek origin, derived from 'charis,' meaning 'grace,' 'kindness,' or 'divine gift.' It's closely related to Charissa and Carissa, with a slightly simpler spelling. The name evokes qualities of elegance, beauty, and benevolence. In Greek mythology, the Charites (or Graces) were goddesses of charm, beauty, and fertility, lending the name classical associations. Charisa gained modest recognition in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century as parents sought meaningful yet distinctive names. While never reaching mainstream popularity, it appeals to those drawn to names with spiritual significance and gentle sounds. Its melodic quality and positive meaning make Charisa an enduring choice for parents seeking a name that feels both timeless and somewhat uncommon.
