Larisha

A variant of Latisha, Lanisha, and other -isha ending names, the feminine title Larisha is uniquely tied to a historic place. It's an Americanized form of Larrissa, a Greek place name with an impressive rank in the first name charts. Also spelled Larisa, the town of Larissa is located in the Thessaly region of central Greece, though it was a city in the earliest days of history. Its meaning, "citadel," likely refers to the defensive fortress that once stood there. With its connotations of strength, power, and resolve, Larisha will be a mighty choice for your tiny tot.
