Trissa is a modern English given name built on the -issa feminine ending, familiar from Clarissa, Larissa, and Marissa. It often serves as an elaboration of Trish/Trisha from Patricia (Latin patricius “noble”), and it can also be read as a pet form of Teresa/Theresa (of debated Greek origin, frequently linked to “harvest”). In Cornwall it overlaps with Tressa, a local name interpreted as “third,” adding a numerical nuance to the meaning.

Recorded in small numbers since the mid-20th century, Trissa remains rare, prized for its crisp opening and soft double-s close. Variant spellings and relatives include Trisha, Tricia, Tressa, and Trista; cognates from its roots include Patricia/Patrizia and Teresa/Therese. Short forms Riss, Rissa, or Tris come naturally. Depending on lineage, the name can signify “noble,” “harvest,” or “third,” blending familiar elements with an uncommon, lyrical profile.
