Laurissa is a unique and elegant feminine given name, derived from the Latin 'laurus', meaning 'laurel'. It's often associated with the laurel wreaths worn by victorious ancient Greeks. The 'iss' ending gives it a modern touch, making Laurissa both timeless and contemporary.
"Laurissa seems to have been quite popular as a girl's name from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, with peak years being 1973 (12 births), 1979 (15 births), and 1980 (16 births). However, its popularity declined thereafter, with fewer than 15 births per year recorded from 1984 onwards. The name's recent usage has been sporadic, with five or fewer occurrences between 2005 and 2019."
