Larisa possibly means "seagul" (Greek "laris").-- Yen_Yen 12/23/2005
Make it funky and spell it LaRisa - I dislike the name.-- Anonymous User 8/7/2006
Larisa may also come from the Greek word for Seagull - ãëÜñïó.-- Anonymous User 12/4/2006
Larissa Fyoforovna (subsequently Antipova) was a leading character in Boris Pasternak's novel, Doctor Zhivago. She was called Lara as a diminutive.-- shadow.of.a.dream 12/18/2006
I especially like pronouncing it LURE-ee-seh.-- LibbyBeth 3/26/2007
I like Larisa, mostly because it's not as widely used as Melissa and Marisa, which are rather tired now.-- Anonymous User 4/1/2007
One version of the origin is that Larisa derived from Latin word "larus" (seagull).-- lomeo 6/6/2007
I associate the name with the Russian word "krysa" (rat). Sounds great; krysa-Larisa!-- ToveTer 6/13/2007
Also a feminine name in Slovenia.-- earthnut 7/3/2007
It isn't a Slovene name, it's only used by parents who want to be fancy. However, poor children. It sounds too decorated!-- only.me 12/14/2007
You`ve obviously been corrupted by your emotions too much to realize that this is a quite common name in Russian-speaking areas, and though they speak Slovene there, there does seem to be a Russian influence. So do your research before making such an attack.-- Mackadal 1/25/2009
I believe Larisa comes from the ancient Greek word "Larissa," which means "stronghold."-- breakofday 2/13/2008
I guess the impression one has of a name is strongly affected by the person you know who has that name. I only know one Larisa, and she is wonderful, so I think the name sounds great!-- Didier 12/6/2008
LaRisa makes me think of Americans trying to pick a classy, French name and failing miserably. I'd expect her sisters to be Chardonnay and Heaven Leigh. So please people, keep it Larisa.-- Anonymous User 12/13/2008
A famous bearer of the name is Larisa Oleynik, star of the show "The Secret World of Alex Mack" and the film "10 Things I Hate About You".-- aamn1 4/13/2009
I don't like -isa/-issa names in general, and like Karissa, Clarissa, Marissa, they are way to over the top girly.-- italiannames 1/5/2010
This name will always make me think of Larissa "Lara" Fyodrovna Antipova in Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak. Lovely name!-- AnyaSciarra 2/21/2010
A good name, nice history and not all that girly, just keep it spelled right. :)-- lucyskydiamonds 3/7/2010
Larisa is a Russian name given to me, meaning laughter. The short form I use is Rissa, it means laugh.-- Rissarockz222 6/3/2010
Also used in Croatia. [noted -ed]-- Sofia 7/28/2010
Possibly originated from Latin larus for gull or in Russian: Чайка.-- lyudssen 10/14/2011
Oh what a beautiful name! Lara, Larissa, Larisa, it's all wonderful! Another child of mine will be named this. Lara, Lara, you fantastically named person, how delightful you are!-- guinevere00 1/27/2012
