Fresca is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Fresca is a Romance feminine word-name drawn from Spanish and Italian fresca, “fresh, cool, crisp,” the feminine of fresco. The term goes back to Late Latin friscus, probably a Germanic loan related to English fresh and German frisch. As a given name it evokes morning dew, sea breezes, and a spirited temperament; in some dialects it can also carry the colloquial sense of “cheeky” or “bold,” which adds a playful edge.

Documented usage as a personal name is sparse but present in Italy, Spain, and Latin America, often as a modern coinage or affectionate nickname and occasionally in the United States since the late 20th century - its visibility likely boosted by the citrus soda of the same name. Variants and related forms include the masculine Fresco; Spanish diminutives like Fresquita; and the rare Slavic-influenced spelling Freska. Comparable word-names are Brisa (“breeze”) and Alba (“dawn”).
