Amarissa is English in Origin.
Amarissa is a modern feminine given name most commonly explained as an elaboration of Amaris with the -issa/-ssa ending pattern seen in Marissa and Larissa. Amaris itself traces to Hebrew Amariah (“Yahweh has spoken/promised”), yielding meanings such as “God has promised” or “promised by God.” In Romance languages, the root amar means “to love,” so the name also invites a love‑themed reading (“beloved,” “loving”), a nuance that has helped it travel across cultures.
Usage is recent and rare, rising in English‑speaking countries and parts of Latin America from the late 20th century onward, in step with lyrical, vowel‑rich names. Pronunciations vary - ah-ma-REE-sah or ah-ma-RISS-ah. Variant spellings include Amarisa, Amarissa, and Amaryssa; related forms are Amaris, Amara, Marissa, Larissa, and Clarissa. Nicknames range from Ama, Ari, and Ami to Rissa or Mari, offering flexible, contemporary styling.
