Like gentle waves lapping against the shore, baby Maryssa is sure to bring comfort into your life. This beautiful, feminine name is a variant of Marisa, a title with Latin origin meaning “sea.” My Cousin Vinny actor Marisa Tomei and fictional character Marissa Cooper of the early 2000s series The O.C. may come to mind when this name is mentioned. However, your little water baby will pave their own way, celebrating the fact that they’re as unique as a grain of sand.
