But that's probably because my name is
Marisa and
Marissa means marine of the sea or color of the sea or something about the sea, maybe just of the sea. I know this says differently but
Marisa and
Marissa in italian are varients of the name
Maris. And
Maris has a connection to the name
Mary.
Maris means "of the sea", taken from the Latin title of the Virgin
Mary stella maris, meaning "star of the sea". Also one of
Mary's meanings is "sea of bitterness".
Just mentioning this because I thought you might like the name
Marissa or maybe
Stella Maris or
Maris.
