Comments for the name Karissa

I'm not extremely fond of the name, but it's my cousin's name and it fits her well. Some of her nicknames are Rissa and Kar.

I know a Karissa, her parents got the name from a Dungeons and Dragons character.

Karissa is such a pretty, elegant name.

My husband and I named our first daughter Karissa. I think this is one of the most beautiful female names out there. Karissa means "Beloved" in Greek. We felt this was fitting since her father's name is David which means "Beloved" in Hebrew. We liked it because we could technically name her after her father.

I hate to break it to the anonymous user, but Karissa is actually derived from the Greek word meaning "grace, kindness".

My name is Karissa, and my little cousins call me kissy. It is very cute. And the one with the lisp says it tissy.
