Carissha is in Origin.

Carissha is a modern, ornamental given name formed from Carissa/Charissa with the fashionable -sha ending. Its roots trace to Greek charis, “grace, kindness, favor,” via Charis/Charissa, and to Latin carus, “dear, beloved,” reflected in Carissa and Cara. Together these strands give Carissha a blended sense of “graceful and beloved,” while the -sha ending lends a contemporary, melodic finish common in English-language creativity.

The base forms entered English through literature - Charissa was used by Edmund Spenser in The Faerie Queene (1590) - and Carissa gained wider currency in the late twentieth century, especially in North America. Carissha appears in records from the 1980s onward, rare but recognizable, with spelling variants such as Karissha, Carisha, and Karisha; related cousins include Carissa, Karissa, and Charissa. Usage is primarily in English-speaking communities, including African-American naming traditions.
