Karissa-Jane is in Origin.

Karissa-Jane blends Karissa - a modern spelling of Carissa/Charissa - with classic Jane. Karissa traces to Greek charis (“grace, kindness”), popularized via Charissa in Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, and is also associated with Latin carus (“dear, beloved”). Jane is the English feminine of John, from Hebrew Yochanan (“Yahweh is gracious”), long established in Britain since medieval times. The K-initial form rose with mid‑late 20th‑century naming fashions favoring streamlined spellings and Kar‑ names.

Usage skews Anglophone: Karissa peaked in the United States in the 1990s–2000s, while the double‑barrelled Karissa‑Jane fits a British and Australasian pattern of hyphenated first names. Variants include Carissa‑Jane, Charissa‑Jane, Karisa‑Jane, Karissa Jayne, and Karissa Jane (unhyphenated); nicknames include Kari, Rissa, and KJ. Combined meanings yield “grace”/“beloved” + “God is gracious,” often interpreted as “grace upon grace” or “beloved of a gracious God.”
