History & Origin

Mariesa tracked a broader wave. As Marissa climbed through the nineteen-eighties and nineties, this variant spelling caught a small share, reaching its slim high around 1987.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and it eased off by the mid two-thousands. A girl named Mariesa at that peak would be nearing forty today. The spelling reads as one of many takes on Marissa.

Did you know? Marisa grew as an Italian pet form of Maria, and the -isa ending was fashionable enough in the late twentieth century to spawn spellings like Marissa, Merisa, and this Mariesa.
