Marisah is English, Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Marisah is a modern feminine name, most often a stylistic -ah spelling of Marisa or Marissa. Marisa arose in Italian and Spanish as a pet form of Maria, sometimes a contraction of Maria Luisa; Marissa is an English elaboration influenced by Latin maris, "of the sea," and by the Marian title Stella Maris. Accordingly, Marisah carries maritime overtones - "of the sea" or "sea-related" - while also sharing the layered Maria/Miryam associations such as "beloved" or "wished-for child."

In usage, Marisa spread widely in the mid-20th century through Southern Europe and the Americas, and Marissa climbed in the English-speaking world from the 1970s onward. Marisah itself appears mainly from the late 20th century in English-speaking countries and occasionally in Southeast Asia, where -ah endings are common in feminine names.
