Corissa is English in Origin.
Corissa is a modern English feminine name, most often understood as a variant of Carissa/Charissa. Those forms trace either to Greek charis, "grace, kindness," as used by Edmund Spenser in The Faerie Queene (Charissa personifies Charity), or to Latin carus/carissima, "beloved, dearest." The O vowel likely reflects influence from Cora (Greek Kore "maiden"), while the -issa ending follows Latinized, Italianate patterns seen in Clarissa.
In records, Corissa appears sporadically before the mid-20th century, gaining modest U.S. use alongside other -issa names in the 1980s-90s and remaining uncommon today. Variant spellings and related forms include Carissa, Karissa, Charissa, Korissa, Corisa, and Corrisa; short forms include Cora, Cory, and Rissa. Taken together, Corissa can convey meanings such as "grace," "charity," or "beloved," with a secondary echo of "maiden" through its link to Cora.
