Embraced by unrivalled beauty, Carisa is a girl’s name rooted in Latin, meaning “beloved” or “grace.” Derived from the Greek word charis, which also holds grace and glory in highest praise, Carisa is a name that inspires attitudes of elegance, patience, and goodwill in us all. The name Carisa has roots in ancient Hellenic legend, too. The Charites—or The Graces, as we’d call them in our modern mother tongue—were hailed in Greek mythology as Aphrodite’s most ardent attendants and the goddesses of goodness, pleasure, and great fun. Just like the Charite trinity, little Carisa is sure to be the glee that fills the room when friends and family gather together!
